The picture depicts the well-known story of Liu Bei’s visit to Zhuge Liang. The depictions of the characters are vivid and detailed, such as Liu Bei’s respectful manner, Zhang Fei’s dark face and the standing posture of a martial artist. The dynamics of the characters are very accurate. The mountain stone is carved with a big axe, and the pine branches are tall, obviously inheriting the painting style of Ma Yuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, with simple strokes. The overall picture is elegant in ink
In the court paintings of the Ming Dynasty, there are many historical story paintings with the theme of “recruiting talents”, reflecting the urgent mood of the ruling emperor to seek talents.
