The Ruyi Guan in the Tongzhi and Guangxu Reign Periods

This paper is based on materials which appear in a basic archive of the Imperial Manufactory of the Imperial Household Office titled Neiwufu Zaobanchu gezuo chengzuo huoji qingdang, with particular reference to important imperial instructions provided to court artists in the Tongzhi and Guangxu reign periods, in order to provide insight into the actual institutional organisation of the palace painting workshops in this period. The author also focuses on the various items related to the Ruyi Guan studio in this period (the methods of recruitment and examination of painters, their rewards and penalties, their gradation, the inspection of their work and the mode of these works), as well as describing the major role played by the Ruyi Guan in recording or chronicling events, providing decoration in the palace and supplying works for scholarly appreciation, not to mention the di erent styles of the paintings produced.
