Silk and bamboo music, light songs and dances, toasting and drinking, The touch of peach blossom on the beauty’s cheek, is it reflected in your heart?

“Spring Morning in the Han Palace” is one of the top ten famous paintings in China, drawn by the Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Ying, known as the “first long scroll of heavy colour beauties”. The ladies in the painting, gathered in groups of three or five, playing the zither and singing, dancing… reproducing the colourful and magnificent life of women in the ancient Chinese palace, while integrating scenes of playing chess, painting, antique appreciation, and flower planting, reflecting the literary and talent of ancient women not inferior to men.

In the dawn of spring, the life of the Han Dynasty court quietly unveiled… harem beauties, with a thousand manners: concubines, palace maidens, princes, attendants, painters, a total of one hundred and fifteen people. Some are watering flowers and pruning branches, some are playing music and dancing, some are reading and playing chess, some are embroidering and practicing… People are wandering in the courtyard, with high platforms and pavilions, green shade and lake stones, rare birds and famous flowers, a picture of elegant and leisurely court life is vividly on the paper, just like a fairyland.

画的中间，舞者或抱琵琶，或弹弦乐，配以七八件乐器和两三件酒具。可见，美酒为宴席增色，古今中外皆然。廊前还摆放着一对青铜觥。在古代商周时期（公元前 1600 年至公元 256 年），此物即为酒器。后人爱其古，用于收藏和鉴赏，取名博古。

画家仇英在画卷上描绘了他想象中汉代王室的雍容华贵。虽然人物的服饰和发型多为明人风格，但这并不妨碍它成为中国古典艺术史上一颗耀眼的明珠。
