From the Kangxi period onwards, the Qing Emperors would inscribe large calligraphic shou or fu characters on these red-silk panels to give to their Empresses, concubines, relatives and ministers as special well-wishing gifts. See an identical silk panel inscribed with a fu character in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Life in the Forbidden City, Hong Kong, 2006, p. 238, fig. 361.
