               The aim of this article is to analyse a famous handscroll Painting of Tang Ying, a current collection of Freer Gallery, should be attributed to another painter according to the long colophons. After a long debate between Prof. James Cahill and Mr. Jiang Zhaoshen in 1960s, this article is to argue that whether this masterpiece is painter by Tang yin himself or the other.
