Inserted into an intricately carved frame, this jade screen illustrates a scene of two children frolicking with lanterns and lotus flowers. Lotus motifs such as that of the flower, leaf, and pod, beyond their Buddhist associations of purity and rebirth, also carry the popular symbolic meanings of \"the succession of sons\" rebus, a wish for numerous male progeny. Major symbols of fertility, abundance, and wealth in this carving are reinforced by the floral and cloud background that surrounds the boys. The concept of cloud forms, yün-ch'i, has been long rooted in Chinese thoughts and artistic expressions. In sculpture, it came about as a result of the widespread influence of Taoist art during the preceding Yuan period. One boy grasps a lantern while the other holds up high a full-bloom lotus flower. Images of boys playing with the lotus are rebuses for zisun hehe, or \"harmony among descendants\". The lantern indicates the autumn season, especially the full-moon festival which is considered one of the most significant and pleasurable in Chinese traditions. The jade is pierced to create openwork. The whole composition of this small jade carving is treated as a painting. Pictorial jade carvings like this can be used as special occasion's gifts or displayed in the wedding chamber room. Jade carvings in the late Ming period became simply part of a plethora of decorative art in which the image took precedence over the material and function of the piece. Other aspect of late Ming decorative arts are the choice of colors such as white or greenish jade and the standard representations of popular subjects."},{"label":"Title","value":"Table Screen"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
