This realistic and sympathetic painting is the real situation of the people in the southeast after the disaster at that time. Let's take a look at the painting now.
At the end of the volume, there is an inscription by Zhou Chen, which introduces the origin of his painting, the content is: "Zhengde Bingzi autumn and July, idle window is fine, occasionally remember the attitude of the city Taoists, take advantage of the convenience of pen and ink, and write with a stroke of the map, although there is no foot view, it can also help the police to encourage the worldly clouds."
