Zhang Xian's paintings, whether historical or documentary, are the only ones. As for its era, from the perspective of the mountain stone method and the arrangement method, it is generally the inheritance of the Northern School of Landscape, belonging to the Jinghao and GuanTong systems, without traces of Li Cheng and Guo Xi, let alone into the Southern Song Style, which is obviously the style of the early Northern Song Dynasty.
The documentary value of this work has always been valued by predecessors, and the cultural activities and related figures of the time recorded in it are the only surviving first-hand accounts. Chen Zhensun made detailed records and examinations of various characters based on the Standing Stone of the South Garden. The carved stone was destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty, and Yan Yaohuan's trek record is quite detailed. To this day, his paintings and all the inscriptions are even more precious.
This painting was originally collected by the Qing Palace, and Puyi stole the painting out of the palace in the name of appreciating Pujie, and then brought it to Changchun. The painting was stolen during the fall of the puppet Manchu regime and remained missing for the next 50 years.
In 1995, the painting was re-released at an auction at the Beijing Hanhai Auction Company. Based on the suggestions of Experts such as Xu Bangda, Qi Gong and Liu Jiu'an, and with the approval of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Palace Museum bought the painting back with an auction price of 18 million yuan, so that this national treasure found its due destination. The State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Palace Museum used so much money to protect a national treasure, in the words of Mr. Qi Gong: "Two words, worth it." ”
