这到底是一幅山水画还是人物画？ Original

Gathering Edible Wild Herbs is a history-themed painting created by Li Tang, a court painter in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). It is based on the story of Boyi and Shuqi, who refused to eat anything from the enemy territory. This painting is difficult to categorize but features a significant innovation in composition. What perspective did the artist use to represent the story? How did he combine the landscape and the figures in the picture technically? Yu Hui, a research fellow at the Palace Museum, provides insights.
