What is the story behind the national treasure Chinese painting "Heavy Screen Chess Manual"?

When does Zhou Wenju's "Heavy Screen Chess Map" reflect? Eat, drink and be merry? I also want to persuade Li Jing not to be greedy for pleasure and to be diligent in political affairs through this painting. In ancient times, there were many works to exhort the emperor through painting, such as The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Thousands of years have passed, many excellent works have disappeared in the long river of history, and some works have fallen into the hands of other countries because of their predecessors. I hope we can return these relics to our mother's arms in the future.

The creation background of "Heavy Screen Chess Map" is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. As we all know, during this period, wars continued and people lived in poverty, and this painting was created in the dynasty where Li Yu's father Li Jing lived. Li Jing and Li Yu, father and son, prefer poetry and calligraphy, but are not good at politics. Therefore, there was a cultural climax in the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time, and painting skills developed rapidly in the Southern Dynasties. Moreover, Li Yu is best at Dan Qing. Although his paintings are not widely circulated in the world, his poems are widely circulated.

"Playing Chess on Screen" depicts a picture of the emperor enjoying himself, and at the same time exhorts the emperor to be diligent and love the people, and not to indulge in pleasure. It is not an orderly phenomenon when the Emperor and his younger brother played chess in the Southern Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, some are neither fish nor fowl. As the emperor, Li Jing did not sit in the first place, but his brother sat in the first place. Some even speculated that the emperor wanted to give way to his younger brother. I think this conjecture is somewhat unrealistic.

It's hard to imagine the hidden story behind Double Screen Chess, but with a painting, we can know very little information, and most of the history we know is obtained through history books. However, the hidden meaning of this painting is to persuade the son of heaven not to covet pleasure, which we can draw from the painting. When we saw this painting, our first impression was that it was showing us the prosperous economy and the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment in the Northern Song Dynasty, but this was not the case. On the contrary, it tells us some social ills in Tian Zi. Therefore, the ancient culture is profound and profound, and we should study it carefully.
