This is a story from the classical novel Three Kingdoms: Wang Yun and Diao Chan laid interlocking plans. Wang Yun betrothed his step-daughter, Diao Chan, to Lǚ Bu. Then, to sow discord between the two, Wang Yun presented the girl to Dong Zhuo as a concubine. Lǚ Bu was furious and each time he met Diao Chan, the latter feigned a sad, tearful look. One day, while Dong Zhuo was in court, Lǚ Bu rushed back to Dong Zhuo’s residence to see the girl. In the Fengyi Pavilion, the girl told him her troubles.
The big pictures of the four pavilions of the Long Corridor are called “plank of the head of door”. This plank shows a famous article of ancient China, Peach-Blossom Source. The picture depicts the tranquil and remote peach garden world at great length.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven VS Nezha
|
From the characters in this picture, we can tell this is a scene in Pilgrimage to the West—The Great Sage Equaling Heaven VS Nezha. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is majestic-looking. Nezha and divine troops descend from Heaven and are defeated; they scurry off like frightened rats. The characters and scenes are depicted vividly and elaborately. It can be regarded as the masterpiece of the Long Corridor’s stories.
