• Description:
  Emperor Qianlong (1735-1796) expressed his view on the attribution of the painting’s author through the postscript. He believed that the characters in the painting had broad and round faces, and the clothes were folded like ancient Zhuanzhou, which was not painted by Li Gonglin. Because of too many mistakes in the old questions, I decided to cut them and reassemble them. After judging the identity of the characters in the painting against the map, he personally wrote their names next to them, and asked Dong Gao (1740-1818) to write the correction process at the end of the volume. Obviously, this trend of Xiyuan Fair in the late Ming Dynasty also entered the court of the Qing Dynasty.
