This is a painting with the author’s beautiful imagination. It shows the scene of Emperor Li Longji sleepwalking in the palace in the middle of the month with the alchemists in the novels of the Tang Dynasty. The painting is exquisite, inheriting the fine tradition of the Southern Song Dynasty, paying attention to the display of the characters’ personalities, the coordination of the characters and the environment, and the portrayal of the characters’ demeanor and clothing of different social strata. From this, we can see the noble and elegant demeanor of the Tang Ming Emperor, the respectful and humble expression of the attendants, and the dignified and elegant temperament of the maids. This picture is one of Zhou Chen’s excellent figure paintings
