"Dayu Water Control Map" Yushanzi is carved into a whole, with rugged peaks, rugged rocks, towering ancient trees, waterfalls and winding mountain roads. Zi Shan showed the hard work scene of Dayu in the process of water control. The figures are cleverly interspersed among the rocks in groups, and the layout is meticulous and orderly. At the upper end of the back of the mountain, there are two lines of big characters carved by Zhu Yongtai, a famous painter in Qianlong: "Thousands of mountains and jade, Dayu water control map". The following are Qianlong's imperial poems and notes. And printed the six-character seal of "Bagua Palm Thought Treasure". The front is engraved with the seal of "Five Blessingg Five Dynasties Hall Ancient Treasures".

As can be seen from the inscription, the material of this device is the jade carving of Mileta Mountain in Hotan, Xinjiang. The artwork is revised according to the painting axis of Qing Palace in Song Dynasty or before Song Dynasty. The purpose of emperor Qianlong's making this device is to express his imitation of the heart of the ancient holy king by praising Dayu's achievements in water control, gain the reputation of a wise king, and show the strength of national strength.

Hotan is far from the capital Wan Li. Without modern means of transportation, the transportation difficulty can be imagined. It is estimated that the trip actually took three or four years. After expecting the capital, the jade was designed, drawn, waxed and woodcut, and then transported to Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, where it was constructed by craftsmen, and then transported back to Beijing, where it was placed, carved and sealed. It took another eight years to complete in the fifty-third year of Qianlong (1788). * * * * has been used for more than ten years, and the total workload has reached1.5000 working days. It took more than 10,000 taels of silver to make the largest jade carving in the history of jade in China and even in the world.

Ganlong is famous for his love of jade and hidden jade. He also personally questioned the work of the palace and supervised many large-scale jade carving projects. In the short period of ten years from the 31st year of Qianlong to the 53rd year of Qianlong, several large-scale jade carvings weighing more than 1,000 kilograms were made, such as Yushan, A Trip to Autumn Mountain, Jade Pot of Yunlong, Yushan and Dayu Water Control Map. This undoubtedly marks the peak of jade carving in Qing Dynasty.

Yushan, the "Dayu Water Control Map", is an unparalleled craft treasure and priceless treasure.
