《平定金川图册》之《郊劳将士》，清乾隆，徐扬绘，纸本，设色，长55.5厘米，宽91.1厘米。
画幅上部乾隆皇帝御题诗，款识：“于郊台迎劳将军阿桂凯旋将士等成凯歌十首。”钤“乾”朱文圆印、“隆”朱文方印。引首钤“太上皇帝”朱文方印。
此图描绘的是平定金川的将士们凯旋返京的庆祝活动。郊劳，是封建帝王远迎和慰劳征战的将士而举行的盛典。乾隆皇帝深知郊劳藉以庆贺、犒赏和鼓舞征战将士的作用。因此，其郊劳礼之隆重、典制之完善，皆前所未有，并作为定制载入《大清会典》，为清王朝一大盛典。图绘66岁的乾隆皇帝精神饱满地骑马而至，还没洗去征尘，脱下盔甲的将士们紧随其后，郊劳大典即将在凯乐声中隆重举行的场景。全图为工笔重彩画，人物写实生动，乾隆皇帝具有肖像画特征。树木刻画细腻，其生机勃勃的繁茂枝叶与庆典的热烈气氛，相得益彰。
金川位于四川省的金沙江流域，是以藏族为主的聚居地。清政府在此实施土司制度，由四川总督及下设官员对他们进行管辖。各土司间为争夺人口、土地、财富等，经常战争纷起，乾隆皇帝不得不二次出兵讨伐挑起战乱的大小金川，以维护和平的局面。乾隆三十八年至四十一年（1773－1776年）间，清军在定西将军阿桂、副将军丰升额、明亮的率领下，第二次平定了大小金川叛乱。乾隆皇帝为了表彰将士们勇猛顽强的战斗精神，及弘扬武功，谕令宫廷画师徐扬彩绘了一套计16幅画面的《平定金川战图》册，同时还下旨刻制一套铜版画以作纪念。图册描绘的内容基本符合历史事实，因而具有极重要的史料价值。
--------Introduction in English--------
The Outer Lao Gentlemen in Pingding Jinchuan Atlas, painted by Xu Yang in Qianlong, Qing Dynasty, is 55.5 cm long and 91.1 cm wide.
In the upper part of the painting, Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem on the emperor's Royal inscription, which reads: "Ten pieces of triumphant songs are composed of generals Ah Gui and other officers who greet Lao at the suburban platform." Jun "Qian" Zhuwen round seal and "Long" Zhuwen square seal. Leading Jun "Emperor Tai" Zhu Wenfang Seal.
This picture depicts the celebration of the triumphant return of the soldiers from Jinchuan to Beijing. The suburban labors were a grand ceremony held by the feudal emperors to welcome and console the soldiers in the war. Emperor Qianlong was well aware of the role of suburban labourers in celebrating, rewarding and inspiring warriors. Therefore, the grandeur of its suburban labor service and the perfection of its pawning system are unprecedented, and they are customized into the "Great Qing Congress", which is a grand ceremony of the Qing Dynasty. The 66-year-old Emperor Qianlong arrived on horseback in full spirits. He had not washed away the dust yet. The soldiers who took off their armor followed him closely. The grand ceremony of suburban labor was about to be held in the sound of Kaile. The full picture is a meticulous heavy-color painting with vivid and realistic characters. Emperor Qianlong has the characteristics of portrait painting. Trees are delicately depicted, and their flourishing branches and leaves complement each other with the warm atmosphere of celebration.
Jinchuan is located in the Jinsha River Basin of Sichuan Province, where Tibetans live mainly. The Chief Executive of the Qing Dynasty implemented the Tusi system here, which was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Sichuan and his subordinate officials. In order to fight for population, land, wealth and so on, wars often broke out among the chiefs. Emperor Qianlong had to fight twice against Jinchuan, the size of Jinchuan, which provoked war, in order to maintain the situation of peace. From 38 to 41 years of Qianlong (1773-1776), the Qing Army, under the leadership of General Agui of Dingxi and Vice General Feng Shengyuan, put an end to the Jinchuan rebellion for the second time. In order to commend the brave and tenacious fighting spirit of the generals and to carry forward the martial arts, Emperor Qianlong ordered Xu Yangcai, a court painter, to paint a set of 16 pictures of the "Battle Maps of Pingding Jinchuan", and at the same time ordered to carve a set of copperplate prints to commemorate it. The contents described in the atlas are basically in line with historical facts, so they are of great historical value.
