    Chinese Paintings On Silk

    My sister picked these up at a garage sale along with other antique items. I tried to get them for my collection, but she kept them.

    They are hand painted and the detail is amazing! The fine work is absolutely flawless. I can barely draw a straight line..this artist was skilled. They are professionally framed so we didn't want to open them up. Don't see any signature.

      It is a headwear of Ming dynasty officials, consisting of a black hat with two wing-like flaps of thin, oval shaped boards on each side. According to the Collected Statutes of the Ming Dynasty (????), ordinary citizens are not allowed to wear this headdress unless attending wedding ceremonies or events involving any noble families/officials. In modern China, wushamao is commonly used as a metaphor for officials and government posts. The Zhanchi Futou was also adopted by neighbouring countries..photo 3

      actually i don,t understand nothing of this , so i must something completely wrong, unless it become wrong because it is an honor , because you past the civil servant examen for the court, but it is more complicated because, a lot of the eams are daoist ethics also

      The strange thing we are missing the emblems -the chinese huzi -the ranks 1-9 represented in mostly birds

      actually the picture is a bit misleading , next to the red garments the teal colour , is not a garmant but i think a YI-PI, which is stoelbekking

      i made the paradigma blunder , they look real fancy , it must be dowager cixi - and Guangxu

      and that was the paradigmablunder

      how ranked mandarins also could be very fancy and use the so called -er buan=eat rings etc and the TIAO ZHU PAI -PEARL HANGERS ,

      Aactually to honour parents is an doastic must, so there are many more parental honoring than emperors

      they told me , because i am ignorant on this subject , there aren,t much silk painting before 1920 , because they were quite expensive en they circulate badly ( and commerccialy because you don,t toss your parents memory

      i try to narrow down the timespread of the depiction by means ofJIAOyis , which is the chinese for lets say pedstal and the frequency differences , bij the 2 styles, no significance differences

      IMO i love them photo,s 4 representation is less opninion , lets define it as cute-photo 1-2-3 nice-

      Waki - Thanks for the comments. Searches seem to reveal several copies and versions of these paintings.

      The one looks similar to Korean Admiral Yi Sun-Shin (1545–1598)?

      And the other looks like Emperor Shenzong of Song?

      I agree with you, that they are just stylized painting and just look nice. My sister only paid a few dollars for them. They are nice decorations.

      i don,t have gear here, addendum there is a deviation in head gear song versus tang
      drooping head flaps and and versus normal side hat gear , i forgot the sequence

      you can,t compare the copies
      the precious thing about your information that theemperor was distanzing from HUZI , representing rank , he used to be rank 1 out of 9, or it did,not exist already


      , but i stop scrutinizing, because it is awfull intensive

      maybe on the picture was Yi Sun Sin wasn,t distazing from the korean huzi , see the quadant at his belly , he used to have a mandarin right probably
      MY korean is worse , lately, but i became quite well in mothereese, hahaha
