Xu beihong is famous for more than his paintings of horses. His lion was equally majestic. Xu beihong painted few lions in his life, and all the lions he painted were of great symbolic significance. The painting "the wounded lion" was created at the time when China was in great danger in order to arouse the consciousness of the Chinese people to save the country. The lion in the wounded lion, looking back, contains infinite meaning. The "sleeping lion" in the east of China has become a wounded male lion. The wounded male lion with glaring eyes is ready to fight, struggle and contain strong and strength.

This painting was created on 110*109cm rice paper. It is a subject of Anti-Japanese War. It shows the author's thoughts and feelings of patriotism and concern for the people.

This painting was created in 1938, during the Japanese invasion of China, so this painting can be regarded as the immortal creation of Anti-Japanese War. The author compared China to the wounded lion. At that time, most of China had been occupied by the enemy, and all the people were suffering from the war. Like this wounded lion. If we do not make a strong counterattack, we will suffer the disaster of annihilation at any time. At that time, China was called the "sleeping lion" by western powers, so I think xu beihong drew this wounded male lion to tell the world that the "sleeping lion" had been awakened by the sound of gunfire and would not be in a deep sleep. However, our situation was just like this male lion, which was wounded and at the edge of a dilemma. There is no way to go back. When faced with a dilemma, the nation of powerful lions is ready to fight and fight like the lion in the picture. In the picture, the lion's eyes are fixed on the front, but they are full of profound meaning, such as sorrow, anger, hatred, and more importantly, firmness, strength and strength.
