Although this work does not include a lot of birds, art historians believe such art is the best proof of the great spirit of natural observation possessed by the Sung artists, and it can be said to be the earliest example of bird illustration in China.
雖然鳥數不多，美術史學者卻認為此畫是宋代畫家充滿觀察自然精神的最佳證明，也可以說是中國最早的鳥類圖鑑。
