Painted Images: Emperor Ming of the Han sent Qin Jing to the Yuezhi kingdom, where he obtained the fourth drawn model by the craftsman who carved the image for King Udayana (this was the beginning of painted images in the Western lands). The emperor ordered it to be depicted above the Xiyang Gate of Luoyang and on the Xianjie Tomb for making offerings (this was the beginning of paintings in the Eastern land).
