This is a very famous painting in China . People line up
for hours at the  Shanghai Museum just to view it.

This painting was originally painted, circa 1085-1145,
during the Northern Song Dynasty. It was repainted during the Qing
Dynasty. It measures 528cm. in width and 24.8cm. in height. It is
considered as one of the Great Treasures of China and was exhibited in
the Hong Kong Museum of Art last year.
