About the Item
Outstanding Pair of Antique Chinese red lacquered wood welcome panels, Chinese calligraphy, lacquered wood
Gorgeous pair of business welcome panels, made of carved and lacquered wood in a bull's-eye tone, with embossed gold characters. They are reversible; one side has two characters and the other three, so each can be placed displaying a different version. This type of wooden panel, with intense colors such as deep red and gold lettering that add a touch of elegance to the piece, is characteristic of ceremonial or decorative signage in prominent places such as temples, museums, exhibitions, or historic buildings in China. They represent very important and respected ranks and positions within Chinese intellectual society. These pieces will add an exotic touch to any room in your home or business.
About the Hanlin Academy
On one side of the panels, you can read "Hanlin Academy" (Hànlín Yuàn: Brush Forest Courtyard). The Hanlin Academy was both an academic and administrative institution (originally a secret imperial council). It was founded in the 8th century CE by Emperor Xuanzong (Tang Dynasty).
Its main function was to prepare official documents by interpreting Confucian texts. This laid the groundwork for the imperial examinations, which aspiring bureaucrats had to pass to gain access to higher positions.
In 1900, the academy suffered a tragic accident during the war between China and the Western powers (the Boxer Rebellion), resulting in the loss of a large number of works.
