During the Song Dynasty, the imperial painting academy would often set painting topics to test the imagination of the painters. However, some of these topics were actually very difficult to paint.
For example,"Trample the flowers and return, the fragrance of the horse's hooves“,”Fragrance“How can it be painted? The painter is at a loss. There is a very smart painter who painted it. He painted a person riding a horse, and two butterflies following the horse's hooves.

”Deep mountains hide ancient temples“, the difficulty is a”hide“word, hide so that it can't be seen, can't be seen, but it has to be known that there is an ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains.
Many painters' works, though they show only a corner of a temple in the deep mountains and dense woods, are not accepted. One painter did not paint a temple, but a little monk carrying water by the stream at the foot of the mountain. If there is a monk carrying water, there must be a temple in the mountains.
There is a painting, a painting of the imperial concubines drinking and chatting last night. This is”last night“affair, how to paint it? This painter painted a corner of the palace gate, early in the morning, a palace maid came out with a basket to throw away the fruit peels, lychee peels, longan peels, chestnut peels, duck feet (ginkgo) peels.......in this way, the luxurious and leisurely life of the imperial concubines last night can be imagined.
Mr. Laoshan once asked Qi Baishi to paint four screen panels. There is a line of poetry from Mr. Sumang:"The sound of frogs comes out of the mountain spring ten miles away,”which is difficult to paint.“The sound of frogs”, it has to come out of the mountain spring ten miles away.
Qi Baishi's "The Sound of Frogs Traveling Ten Miles from the Mountain Stream"
Old man Qi painted the stones standing upright on the two sides of the painting with thick ink, and with light ink he painted a winding mountain spring. Under the spring, he painted seven or eight frogs with their tails swaying as they swam. What a brilliant idea he had!
