The Night Revels of Han Xizai is one of top ten traditional Chinese paintings. The original painter was Gu hongzhong who served as a court painter for the Southern Tang Emperor Li Yu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. This painting was the most well-known work of Gu, however, it did not exist any more. The one in Palace Museum now is a 12th century remake.
Background of the night revels of Han Xizai
Han Xizai was born in the north of China. After his father was killed, he surrendered and pledged allegiance to the Southern Tang. As a minister of the suspicious Emperor Li Yu, he was not totally trusted because he was form the North. Therefore, he was very upset in his political life. When Northern Zhou’s soldiers pressed on the border, Li Yu wanted Han to be the Prime minister to solve the big crisis to prove Han’s loyalty. Knowing there was no any chance to escape Northern Zhou’s attack, Han had revels every night. So, Li yu sent two painters Gu Hongzhong and Zhou Wenjv to pry on Han Xizai's private life to see whether Han had ambitions or not.

Undoubtedly, the night revel of Hanxizai is a masterpiece of Chinese narrative paintings. According to the revel time, this painting is split into five distinct sections naturally by folding screens.
