{"product_id":"mugg-084","title":"MUGG-084 — Li Gonglin, The Classic of Filial Piety (ca. 1085)","description":"Li Gonglin's handscroll illustrating the *Xiaojing* stretches nearly sixteen feet across silk, a format that demanded the viewer unroll the narrative gradually, encountering each scene of filial obligation in sequence rather than all at once. The work dates to around 1085, a period when Li held a post at the Northern Song court and was already celebrated for his baimiao line drawing, a method of pure ink outline without colour wash that later scholars would trace back to him as a formal origin point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA compositional decision embedded here, the rendering of Confucian hierarchy through spatial arrangement rather than symbolic attribute, would travel quietly across the century and beyond. The source material is held at @metmuseum in New York, where the scroll's full extension is rarely displayed. MUGGMUSEET curatorial staff have preserved the work in ceramic form at a more practical scale. The acquisition is complete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work entered the collection on 2026-07-02. The mug is the acquisition.
