Sourced Overview Evidence
This is one of a pair of screens that shows a group of elite Chinese gentlemen and their servants in the countryside. One man looks on as two of his companions play a board game. Nearby is a table set with a selection of books and a <em>qin</em>, a type of stringed instrument, still wrapped in its cloth case, waiting to be played. The mood is one of enjoyment balanced with formality. Historically, playing the qin or <em>qi</em> (a game similar to chess called <em>go</em> in Japan), and practicing or admiring calligraphy were considered three skills essential for cultured men in China.
