This painting is among the few surviving ruled-line painting masterpieces of the Yuan dynasty and vividly portrays a grand dragon boat, along with over ten smaller boats in dragon and tiger shapes, competing in a lively regatta within the imperial garden’s waterway. The scene brims with festive energy, as described in The Eastern Capital: A Dream of Splendor, which recounts similar dragon boat competitions in Jinming Lake in Bianjing, the Northern Song capital. Rendered with meticulous and consistent ink lines, accented with light ink washes, the painting captures the intricate and precise architectural details of the era, preserving invaluable visual records of Yuan wooden structures.
