The Creation Background of Lotus and Golden Rooster
After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) in Song Dynasty, Hanlin Painting Academy was established. After the demise of Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty, many painters concentrated in Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and some famous painters from the north also came to Bianjing, so the painting academy in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty was strong. As an independent painting discipline, flower-and-bird painting in Song Dynasty has reached a high artistic level in both painting techniques and expression forms.

During his reign, it was the heyday of the Song Dynasty Painting Academy, with a wide collection of cultural relics and calligraphy and painting, which was extremely prosperous. He recruited many talented painters and took a series of measures in painting, which promoted the development of meticulous flower-and-bird painting. He is good at using natural objects to imply Confucian moral concepts, and Lotus and Golden Rooster is a typical example.
