This picture is a landscape painting carefully created by Zhang Zongcang when he was a court painter. The mountain stones in the picture are repeatedly stained with lines, and then stained with scorched ink. They are formed many times, making the complex forest and gully not blind and refreshing, and the ink rhyme is not lost in the dark and elegant atmosphere, reflecting the typical style of the painter in his mature period. Emperor Qianlong appreciated this picture, and stored it in the most important summer resort outside the Great Wall, and inscribed three poems on the picture to show his favor
