This picture refers to the period of the Southern Song dynasty when the Jurchen invaded North China and established the Jin dynasty with the help of Yang Zaixing. Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun were the greatest defenders of the Southern Song dynasty. In this picture Yue Yun does battle with Yang Zaixing, who would later defect to the service of the Southern Song.
