Illustrations for the qin melody Yu Ge (Fisherman's Song) 漁歌圖
A long scroll by Bai Yunli

This long scroll was inspired by a Yuan dynasty scroll "The Fisherman" (Yufu Tu) by Wu Zhen (1280-1354) 1
(From a copy [III/56]; original in the Freer Gallery, Washington, D.C.; compare online excerpt with #7).
Its scenes follow the 18 section titles of the qin melody Yu Ge in Xilutang Qintong (1549).
