(14)Didactic images of silk and rice production first appeared in Chinese culture around 1145 with the Southern Song dynasty court painter Lou Shou (1090-1162). Accompanied by poetic inscriptions describing the individual steps of production, these imperially sponsored images demonstrated the Emperor's interest in fostering sound agricultural and sericulture practices for these key economic engines and sources of food and clothing for the nation, as well as government revenue through taxation.In the seventeenth century, the Kangxi Emperor commissioned the court artist Jiao Bingzhen (fl. 1689-1726) to create a new edition of the Gengzhi tu, which was published as woodblock printed albums in 1696. As a result of the book's wide distribution, the imagery from the 1696 edition soon began appearing in a variety of media, on porcelain vases, lacquer screens, fine embroidery, and paintings, as seen in the present lot.Literature comparison: An album of woodblock prints, with 46 illustrations on the cultivation of grain and silk, commissioned by the Kangxi Emperor, dated 1696, is in the British Museum, registration number 1949,0709,0.1.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 27 January 2014, lot 397 Price: USD 7,500 or approx.
