Ch: Fengliuzhentu. Lit. Depictions of Elegant Battles. A Chinese painting subject included among the Pictures of Pleasure at Court, *kyūraku-zu 宮楽図. According to the description by Kano Ikkei 狩野一渓 (1599-1662) in *Kōsoshū 後素集, when wine was flowing, Xuanzong (Jp: *Gensō 玄宗) and his consort Yang Guifei (Jp: *Yōkihi 楊貴妃) would gather about 100 court ladies, divide them into two armies, provide them with flowering branches, and enjoy watching them set against each other. These elegant battles reportedly took place in the Taiyeting (Jp: Taiekitei 太液庭) behind the Daming Palace (Jp: Daimeikyū 大明宮) at Chang'an (Jp: Chōan 長安). The theme was painted most frequently during the late 16th and early 17th century on fans and screens by *Kano-ha 狩野派 artists. When painted on screens, the theme was often paired with other kyūraku-zu such as the Butterfly of Happiness, *chōkō-zu 蝶幸図, or a scene from The Song of Everlasting Sorrow (Ch: Changhengge; Jp: Chōgonka 長恨歌). The theme could also be matched with other themes involving the court, such as Four Graybeards Return to Court, shikō raichō 四皓来朝.
