This painting tells the story of Liu Bang, the eventual founder of the Han dynasty and here having his feet bathed, and his initial meeting with Li Yiji in the year 207bce. When initially introduced as a Confucian scholar, Liu Bang refused his invitation, however, when Li Yiji announced himself as 'a Drunk from Gaoyang Gaoyang jiutu 高陽酒徒', the future emperor invited him for a discussion. This event is recorded in the Shiji, and their encounter would lead to the two men forming an alliance to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.
