Presenting the Tripod 1803 Wang Xuehao At the center of this short scroll, the scholar Ruan Yuan (1764-1849) travels on a boat that carries a prominent bronze vessel on its bow, approaching a monastery at the foot of a hilly island. He is about to present an inscribed Han dynasty tripod to the monastery on Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, where it will be paired with an important Zhou dynasty bronze vessel. Jiaoshan was a center for the study of ancient scripts preserved on bronze and stone artifacts. Ruans act epitomizes the intellectual ethos of his time, when antiquarian and epigraphic research was a mainstream form of scholarship in China. His generous gesture—sharing his ancient treasure with the scholarly community—was celebrated by his contemporaries and immortalized in this painting.. Presenting the Tripod. Wang Xuehao (Chinese, 1754-1832). China. 1803. Handscroll; ink on paper. Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Paintings
