"Female Historiography"
"Female history" is the name of a female official, which later became an honorific title for intellectual women; "proverb" means exhortation and exhortation. Sima Zheng, the Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, was a mentally handicapped man, and the power of the state was monopolized by his empress Jia, who was jealous, had many powers, and was absurd and wanton. Zhang Hua, the minister of the DPRK, collected the deeds of the sages and saints of various generations in history and wrote a nine-paragraph "Female History Proverbs", which, as an exhortation and warning, was regarded at that time as a famous passage of "Bitter Mouth Chen Zhen and Zhuang Yan Warning the World", which was widely circulated. Later, Gu Kaizhi divided the paintings into sections according to the content of the article, and each paragraph had proverbs, and each section of the picture vividly revealed the meaning of the proverbs, so it was called "Female History Proverbs". The famous work of Chinese history, "Female History Proverbs", came out. "Female History Proverbs" now has two silk copies, one is now in the Palace Museum, experts believe that it is a Facsimile of the Southern Song Dynasty, the artistry is poor; the other is more artistic, more able to reflect Gu Kai's painting style and the original appearance of "Female History Proverbs", experts believe that it may be a Tang facsimile, now collected in the British Museum, the original 12 paragraphs, due to the long age, the existing "Female History Zhentu" is only 9 paragraphs, for silk, color, 24.8 cm in length, 348.2 cm in width. The British Museum's collection of "Female History Zhentu" is a facsimile of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, and Shen Yun is closest to Gu Kaizhi's original painting, so it is regarded as a classic facsimile by posterity. It has been collected by many literati and inkers, and on the screen we can see the Xiangzijing inscription, the Tang Hongwenguan "Hongwen Seal", and the Song Huizong Zhao Yi thin golden book "Female History Proverbs" 11 lines. The painting itself and the mounting part are pressed with the Seals of the Song, Jin, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, as well as the private collection seals of collectors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tang Ben's "Female History Proverbs" was stolen to The British by British Lieutenant Ji Yongsong in September 1900 when the Eight-Power Alliance burned the Yuanmingyuan, and was later stored in the British Museum. During World War II, in order to thank the Chinese army for lifting the siege of the Japanese army in Burma, the British government intended to return Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Proverbs" to China, and gave China a submarine as a thank you gift. The Chinese government has chosen submarines.
