Appreciation of Fan Kuan's Travel Notes of Xishan in Northern Song Dynasty
The Journey to the West is Fan Kuan's masterpiece and also a masterpiece in China's painting history. The first impression of this work is that it is magnificent. Giant peaks stand on the wall and almost occupy the picture. There are many trees in the mountain, waterfalls flow down from the mountainside and boulders crisscross at the foot of the mountain, which makes the whole work complicated. A caravan appeared on the mountain road, and a stream flowed by the road. It was a waterfall flowing down from the mountain, which made the audience smell the sound of water, voices and horses, and also pointed out the theme of Xishan tourism.

Open the tourist map of Xishan Mountain, and a big mountain stands in front of you. Along with the landscape, there are many inscriptions by collectors, which is the only clue to uncover the famous paintings that have been circulated for thousands of years.

The seal and color of this "treasure of imperial books" have obvious characteristics of the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that this famous painting was once collected in the Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty. With the nomads from the south and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of treasures in the palace began to spread among the people, including The Journey to the West in Fan Kuan.
