The Song-Liao Political Relations Reflected in the"Deer Images"in Two Ancient Paintings
Red Maple and Whistling Deer and Autumn Forest Gathering Deer are well-known paintings collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.They have extremely high artistic value,but their au-thor cannot be identified,and the year of creation is also doubtful.This makes many related research re-sults lack age information and cannot be conclusive.Regarding the origin,author and age of these two paintings,Zhang Heng,an expert in ancient calligraphy and painting appraisal,and Li Lincan,former deputy director of the National Palace Museum in Taipei,have both elaborated.Multiple evidence points to a set of five panoramic screen paintings from the Liao Dynasty.The inferences made by the two schol-ars are well-founded and worth learning from,but they are all based on the discussion of fine arts,limit-ed to the painting frame,painting method,painting style,subject matter,etc.,and are not combined with the special political relationship between the Song and Liao countries at that time.Let's discuss the deep-er meanings of the deer image,why it appears here,and whether it's appropriate.Therefore,this article will explore from a historical perspective,trace the origins of these two paintings,and talk about the un-derstanding of the paintings based on the relationship between Song and Liao.
