Yüeh-yang lookout was located at West Gate in Yüeh-yang County, Hunan. In the Northern Sung, the official T'eng Tzu-ching was demoted to Pa-ling, from where he had the lookout rebuilt. He also asked the renowned scholar Fan Ch'ung-yen to compose a record, which became as famous as the site itself. The tower here is located on walled ramparts and beyond lies Lake Tung-t'ing. This anonymous work was erroneously attributed to Li Sheng. The trees, rocks, and buildings are all similar to those in the Peking Palace Museum's Yüeh-yang Lookout by Hsia Yung. Hsia, active in the mid-14th century, was a native of Hangchow who often did paintings that he inscribed with poetical references to famous sites.
