Which picture is longer, the picture of a thousand miles across the mountains and rivers or the picture of a clear mountain and rivers?

A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is a painting scroll created by Wang Ximeng in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the form of a long scroll, the work is based on tradition, and the picture is nuanced. The misty rivers and undulating mountains constitute a wonderful landscape map of the south of the Yangtze River. The static scenery such as fishing village, wild city, waterside pavilion, thatched cottage and water mill long bridge is interspersed with dynamic scenes such as fishing, sailing, playing and catching feet, and the combination of dynamic and static is just right. The depiction of the characters is extremely subtle and vivid, and the birds use their pens lightly, which makes them soar.
