Throughout nine scenes, Hua criticises and reprimands the excessive behaviour of Empress Jia, who was accused of using her influence to manipulate the emperor and murder rivals. The poem was originally used to educate women at court on how to behave according to Confucian principles – the protagonist of the story is the court instructress who guides the women of the imperial family. The Scroll carries inscriptions by later collectors including the Qianlong emperor (r. 1736–1795). Originally a handscroll, the painting and later inscriptions were separated and mounted onto panels in 1914. Due to conservation precautions, it can only be displayed for six weeks a year. 📜 The scroll will be on display from 5 October until 15 November in Room 91a of the Museum. Due to popular demand, we have introduced a free timed ticketing system to see the scroll – find out more via the link in our bio. 🔎 Traditionally attributed to Gu Kaizhi (AD 345–406), 'The Admonitions Scroll' ('Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies').
