  • Description:
    It is said that this painting was painted by Zhao Boju of the Southern Song Dynasty. It depicts that King Mu of Zhou went to Yaochi to meet the Queen Mother of the West. It is similar to Zhao Boju’s “High Meeting of Yaochi”, which is said to be in the courtyard. At the beginning of the scroll, there are huge waves and smoke. King Mu of Zhou and his attendants are waiting for the motorcade sent by the Queen Mother of the West. Over the mountains across the screen, you enter the fairyland of Yaochi. The shapes of the green rocks are changeable, and the green moss spots and red flowers scatter on the rocks like beads. The high palace built against the mountain looks magnificent. The immortals wore colorful clothes and white silk, which were very conspicuous. The middle section is full of cranes and auspicious clouds. Later on the lake bridge road, the beautiful deer cart carries the Queen Mother of the West. The guard of honor moves slowly forward to meet King Mu of Zhou. Yaochi fairyland is commonly seen in popular literature such as the “Gods List” in the Ming Dynasty. This picture reproduces the magnificence of the text with fine description. (Lin Lijiang)
