Here the artist depicts the Han dynasty General Zhang Liang (died 168 BCE) returning a Daoist hermit's shoe. As recorded in the Shiji, their fateful meeting on a bridge occurred while Zhang Liang was living in exile following a failed assassination attempt on Qin Shihuangdi. After the General returned the shoe, the hermit presented him with Huang Shigong San Lue (The Three Strategy's of Huang Shigong), a treatise on military strategy, that allowed Zhang Liang to transform into an adept statesmen and war theorist.
