Its significance was well understood by the Qianlong emperor who commissioned a meticulous copy of the work to be made by artists Zhang Weibang (張維邦, 1725 – 1775) and Yu Sheng (余省, 1692 – 1767). The Palace Museum still retains the Qianlong era copies but the originals are missing from their collection. Only a limited number of album leaves from the original set have ever arrived on the market and a set of six works is exceptionally rare. *For a full condition report, please contact the department.* *请您联系我们索取品项报告。*
