墨线白描界画楼阁反映了元代建筑绘画最为典型的时代新风,宫廷画家王振鹏则是这种风格的代表人物。他曾先后两次画过《金明池夺标图》卷,描绘的是北宋崇宁年间(1102-1106年),每年皇室在宫廷后苑金明池举办龙舟竞渡的盛大场面。由于王振鹏颇负盛誉并受到当时贵戚大长公主的赞赏,引得后人纷纷临摹,至今传世的摹本和改绘本仍有七八本之多。此卷笔法秀劲细密,纯用白描、舍弃设色的表现手法更使画面千繁万复而不显阻滞拥塞,给人细腻、明洁、素雅之感。殿阁巍峨,龙舟争渡,旌旗猎猎,橹桨奋动,动态的舟船和众多的人物活动打破了静态楼阁的沉寂,赋予了通常流于平板的建筑画紧张的情节和热烈的气氛,反映出王振鹏建筑画的风格特点。正如虞集所评:“振鹏之学,妙在界画,方圆平直,曲尽其体,而神气飞动,不为法拘。”

The Pavilion of ink line sketch reflects the most typical style of architectural painting in Yuan Dynasty. Wang Zhenpeng, a court painter, is the representative of this style. He has painted two volumes of "Jin Ming Chi Bidding Map" successively, describing the grand occasion of dragon boat race held by the royal family in Jin Ming Chi, the court's back garden, during the Chongning period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1102-1106). As Wang Zhenpeng was well-known and appreciated by Princess Dachang at that time, he was copied by later generations. There are still 78 copies and alterations handed down to this day. This scroll is exquisite, vigorous and delicate, pure white sketch, abandon the color of the performance techniques, make the picture more complex without blocking congestion, giving people a sense of delicacy, cleanliness and elegance. Palace towering, dragon boat ferry, flag hunting, paddle excitement, dynamic boat and many people activities broke the silence of the static pavilion, giving the usually flat-panel architectural painting tense plot and warm atmosphere, reflecting the style characteristics of Wang Zhenpeng's architectural painting. As Yu Ji commented, "Zhenpeng's learning, wonderful in the boundary painting, square and round straight, bend its body, and the air is flying, not for legal restraint."
