Feng Bao's gift.
Bao Feng is elegant and good at piano and calligraphy. In the sixth year of Wanli, Feng Bao collected the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival and wrote an inscription. The official called it "the eunuch of the inner dynasty appointed by the governor to handle affairs in the official school of the East Factory and take charge of the eunuch of the inner dynasty". Tell me about the painting I saw when I was waiting for the emperor at the command. He praised the painter of The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival as "something more precious than Sui Zhu and Bi".
Because Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Zongshen, was only sixteen years old at that time and had not yet taken charge of the court affairs, while Feng Bao was in charge of the court power, some researchers thought that this painting was stolen by Bao Feng from ouchi. Moreover, in order not to be investigated afterwards, Feng Bao also invented a story about the destruction of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, which was widely circulated in the society at that time.
