At 11.9 meters long and 51.5 centimeters wide, it shows the majesty of mountains and rivers with a general and refined technique, brilliant colors and fine brushwork, and is the most representative and landmark work in the surviving green landscape paintings.
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the picture is magnificent. The so-called thousand miles is because Wang Ximeng painted more than 50 peaks, more than 20 mountains, 20 hills and dozens of slopes in this painting.

Judging from the mountains standing on the banks of Osawa in the painting, the main body depicted may be Lushan Mountain in Poyang Lake. Before Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, Lushan was called "Kuangshan", and in order to avoid secrecy, it was renamed "Lushan".
After the Northern Song Dynasty was stable, Emperor Huizong of Song displayed Guotai Min'an in court paintings. The paintings at that time were not only colorful, but also the scenes were magnificent. There is a cloud in the Xuanhe Pictorial Notation compiled by Emperor Huizong of Song: "Thousands of miles away, you can get it within reach." Wang Ximeng, as a student of Emperor Huizong of Song, was naturally influenced in terms of aesthetics.
We saw peaks and mountains, intricate forests and villages, boat bridges, pavilions, and nuanced figures. No wonder the Yuan Dynasty calligrapher Pu Guang would say: "In the small scenery of ancient and modern Danqing, you can walk alone for a thousand years, and the lonely moon ear of the stars is lost." ”
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has a history of more than 900 years, but its color is still bright, which is the cultural relics conservators silently guarding. At the end of the dance and poetry drama, the exhibition volume and Wang Ximeng thank each other: "Thank you for your creation" and "Thank you for your inheritance". The dialogue between the creator and the inheritor is the deep meaning of "Only This Green".
