It is said to have been painted by Li Song (a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang) in the Song Dynasty. In this garden, the tall woods and strange stones, the branches and leaves cover the lushness, and the corporal of the tree sits idly on the bed, with his left leg crossed, listening to the music of the Nguyen and enjoying the antiques. Next to her are beautiful ladies, burning incense, picking flowers, and holding fans. The lines of the figures are smooth, and the painting method is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty painters Du Mao and Tang Yin. The bed surface is a rattan soft drawer, breathable for use in the summer; the bed is placed with a straight-up brain-to-head chair-type recliner, no legs and feet, and an adjustable activity bracket for the back to rely on when sitting, which is generally suitable for use on the bed or on the mat. The square incense in front of the bed has a corset waist, straight legs, and a ruyi foot underneath. This square is shaped in a group with a bed to hold the incense burner.
Li Song (1166-1243), painter of the Southern Song Dynasty, was a native of Qiantang (present-day Hangzhou). There are few carpenters, and the rope ink is far away. He was adopted as an adopted son by the court painter Li Congxun. The Three Dynasties of Guang and Ningli (1190-1264) were to be edicted. Gonghua characters are explained, and they have to be trained from the will, especially in boundary painting.
The subject matter of painting is rich and colorful, from the court to the folk, from the city to the countryside, from production to life, from eating and drinking to entertainment, from the Immortal Mountain to the Dragon Palace, from history to reality, all reflected in the paintings, and there are exquisite and beautiful courtyard body paintings, such as Ming Emperor Fighting Diagram, Flower Basket Diagram; there are white and light color custom paintings, such as Cargo Lang Tu; there are also ink rendering landscape paintings, such as West Lake Map and so on.

【Era】 Song Dynasty
【Introduction】Picture scroll, silk, color painting, length: 25.5cm, horizontal: 70.4cm. It is now in the collection of the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
This section is signed: "Jiading Xin Wei Li Congshun Male Song Painting." There is also a poem of seven words inscribed by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. This is a picture of the customs of the characters, the picture of the cargo man shouldering the burden of groceries, overwhelmed and bent over, cheering children running to tell each other, joy overflowing with words. The loads are plentiful and varied, from pots and pans to children's toys to melons and pastries. In the Southern Song Dynasty, when the circulation of goods was not yet developed enough, the freight men walked the streets and alleys, a pair of goods was a small department store, the freight men not only brought the goods needed for the remote countryside, but also brought a variety of novel insights, the arrival of the goods lang was often as lively as a festival, Li Song depicted such a scene in the picture. With the help of the theme of cargo lang, the painter expressed a side of the life of the Southern Song Dynasty, and those dazzling objects, although many of them are no longer known for their purpose today, truly record the way of life of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is a rare and precious historical material for folklorists. The shaping of the characters in the picture mainly relies on line drawing, and the delicate strokes are supplemented by light colors, making the picture simple and calm. The dynamics of the characters are distinct, and none of them are similar, showing the painter's realistic skills. The meticulous depiction of the complicated and chaotic goods shows Li Song's "Youchangjie painting" technique. Bibliography of "Shiqu Baodi · Preliminary Compilation".

Southern Song Dynasty Li Song West Lake Picture Volume Ink and pencil on paper 26.7 × 85 cm Shanghai Museum Collection
【Name】Song Li Song West Lake Picture Scroll【Age】Song Dynasty【Introduction】Ink and pencil on paper, 26.7 cm in length and 85 cm in width, shanghai museum collection. The whole picture adopts the form of bird's eye view composition, the center of the painting is blank, for the West Lake lake, the mountains above the lake are undulating, the north and south peaks are facing each other, and the six bridges of Su Causeway are looming. The whole picture is used with both freehand and brush, the ink color is light and washed, and the pen is sophisticated. At the beginning of the volume, there are four words in the Ming Shen Zhou Book "Lake and Mountain Fun". The "West Lake Picture Scroll" is a Chinese painting work by the Chinese Song Dynasty painter Li Song, this West Lake picture is not necessarily the most exquisite picture scroll depicting the West Lake since ancient times, but it is the work that best illustrates the whole picture of the ancient West Lake. Although gong pen painting is not as good as ink freehand, as a human flesh camera, Li Song has done it. As you can see in the picture, the West Lake more than 800 years ago, except for the lack of the Lake Pavilion and the Three Pools Of The Moon, is basically the same. According to The Fifth Volume of Li Yan's "Southern Song Dynasty Painting Catalogue", Zhu Yuanzhang once wrote an inscription on this "West Lake Map" and praised it, as a Taizu Emperor who had not received compulsory education and relied on self-study to get rid of blindness, he was usually very interesting, and rarely engaged in literature and art in takeaway, and this seemed to be the only direct comment on painting works that people knew Zhu Yuanzhang.
