EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite 18th-century Chinese ink painting by Jin Tingbiao (Chin Ting-piao, ?-1767), we witness a profound moment in the life of Ban Zhao, a renowned Chinese scholar and writer from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE). The scene depicts Ban Zhao in the role of a teacher, imparting knowledge to a young boy and girl, likely her own children, Cao Dagu and Pan Chao, in a tranquil and intimate setting. Ban Zhao was a trailblazing figure in ancient Chinese society, known for her exceptional intellect and her advocacy for women's education. Her seminal work, "The Classic of Filial Piety," is considered a cornerstone of Confucian ethics and has been influential in Chinese culture for over two millennia. Jin Tingbiao masterfully captures the essence of Ban Zhao's legacy through this evocative image. The artist's meticulous brushwork and nuanced use of ink on parchment create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. The children, with their focused expressions and attentive posture, embody the spirit of learning and the importance of education in Chinese culture. This painting, now housed in the esteemed National Palace Museum Taiwan, is a testament to the enduring influence of Ban Zhao and the rich artistic traditions of China. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of knowledge, the value of education, and the profound impact that dedicated teachers can have on future generations.
