- Description:
This picture describes the poem “Palace Ci” by Wang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: “The palace people get up early to laugh and shout at each other. They don’t know the floor sweeper at the front of the steps. They beg for money and ask questions. It seems that there is nothing outside.” In the painting, the palace maids gather in groups to give money to the sweeper, ask about the outside world, and outline the palace people’s curiosity and yearning for the outside world in a claustrophobic environment.
