After Liu Xiang’s work appeared, the images of<italic> lienü</italic> were established as a distinctive visual category, developed within a broader context of a didactic pictorial genre that engaged the use of images for both the living and the dead. They not only provided admonitory functions, but also were considered auspicious and visually pleasant. In addition to a body of excavated <italic>lienü</italic> images from these periods, I examine two later scrolls originally rooted in this pictorial genre of <italic>lienü, </italic>the <italic>Lienü renzhi tu</italic> (Sympathetic and wise women scroll) in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and the <italic>Nüshi zhen tu </italic>(Admonitions of the court instructress) in the British Museum. I argue that the two paintings epitomize an ideal female exemplar who is virtuous, graceful, and physically attractive – all these qualities and their textual associations served as markers of the owner/viewer’s elite status. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of NAN NU -- Men, Women & Gender in Early & Imperial China is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
