这组插画灵感来源于北京颐和园的一栋建筑——画中游：这是乾隆皇帝亲自设计的，乾隆三下江南后，想在北京仿照江南景致造清漪园，但图纸画了很久一直不满意，迟迟动不了工，乾隆日思夜想，一日梦里遇见一位老者带着一副卷轴给他展示了栩栩如生的建筑图。
  随后，画中游便建成了。
  一栋来自梦里的建筑。
再在这个基础上给这个画面题材增加许多中式怪诞的元素，使插画更加有神秘感。

 

This set of illustrations is inspired by a building in the Summer Palace in Beijing - Painting Zhongyou: This was designed by Emperor Qianlong himself. After Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River three times, he wanted to build the Qingyi Garden in Beijing to imitate the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but he was not satisfied with the drawings for a long time. , unable to start work for a long time, Qianlong thought about it day and night. One day in his dream, he met an old man with a scroll showing him lifelike architectural drawings.
  Subsequently, the middle reaches of the painting were completed.
  A building from a dream.
On this basis, many Chinese grotesque elements are added to the theme of the picture to make the illustration more mysterious.
