The Ming Dynasty painter Zhu Zhifan's painting of Su Shi's portrait by Li Gonglin was released for the first time in recent years. “The last exhibition dates back to the Republic of China,” Yu Wentao said. The content of the portrait is that when Su Shi was demoted to Hainan in his later years, he encountered rain on the way to visit friends. He borrowed hats and clogs from farmers. This picture shows Su Shi's attitude towards life when he is in adversity and calms down. This kind of sandals has also become a classic paradigm for later generations when depicting the image of Su Shi.

The reporter saw at the scene that the inkjet scene of the apse of the Wenhua Palace was inspired by the masterpiece "Post-Chibi Futu" by Mahe, a masterpiece of the courtyard house. The design uses micro-animations of the small boat and the crane to show the audience Su Zi more vividly. The scene of "revisiting under the red cliff" with the guests, "there is a lone crane coming east from across the river". The stillness of the painting itself and the movement of a crane and a boat complement each other, which is agile and interesting.
