There is a place named Yuhua Xiu in the twenty-eight scenic spots of Jingyi Garden. There is Yuhua Temple in the Xiu. The emperor’s book house in the temple is named “Gaotu Jingshe”. This picture is drawn from a perspective of overlooking. The building is located in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by mountains, with extraordinary momentum. The painter’s ink is simple but not dry, and the chapped pen is short and dense, which just shows the bleak meaning of the northern landscape. A group of buildings are arranged in the visual center of the picture, and are described with great care. The courtyards, corridors and terraces are in perfect order, the ancient trees are tall, and the bamboo is pretty, which is a realistic painting
