The 'Admonitions Scroll' is a Chinese narrative painting on silk that is traditionally ascribed to Gu Kaizhi (ca. 345-ca. 406), but which modern scholarship regards as a 5th to 8th century work that may or may not be a copy of an original Jin Dynasty (265-420) court painting by Gu Kaizhi. The full title of the painting is 'Admonitions of the Court Instructress'. It was painted to illustrate a poetic text written in 292 by the poet-official Zhang Hua (232-300) and composed to reprimand Empress Jia (257-300) and provide advice to imperial wives and concubines on how to behave in a proper manner.
