Chinese Kangxi Period Porcelain Dish Romand of Western Chamber Marked, 17th C.

About the Item

Very nice dish with a beautifully painted scene of the Romance of the Western Chamber. We think this is the story of Yinying receiving good news delivered by the page boy. This is a story from the Romance of the Western Chamber, a famous Chinese play written by Wang Shifu (王实甫, 1260-1336) in Yuan dynasty (1271-1368): On his way to the capital to take civil-service exams, Scholar Zhang (张生) fell in love with the beautiful Cui Yingying (崔莺莺), who was stranded in a monastery. They had to be separated because Yingying’s mother only allowed Zhang to marry Yingying after he succeeded in his exams. Half a year passed and, when Zhang won the official honours, he sent the page boy to tell Yingying the good news. Yingying was thrilled to receive the glad tidings.
