Lot Essay


The lengthy dedicatory inscription carved on the back of the screen commemorates the birthday of a father with the surname Duan, and praises their family members’ lifelong accomplishments throughout the dynasties. The inscription is written by Yang Zhongyue, a recorded scholar that held the title of Shujishi (All good men of virtue) in the Hanlin Academy, the academic and administrative institution for higher learning at the imperial court.
