Album of Illustrations of Agriculture and sericulture commissioned by Kangxi Emperor

A woodblock print made under Kangxi of Qing. This painting was modeled after Binpungchilwolpyeon of 『Shigyeong』 which Nusuk dedicated to Gojong in Southern Song period. The reason behind producing this was to make the emperor understand the difficulty of farmers and silkworm rearing. The picture is very elaborate and delicate and western perspective is applied. It seems to have been introduced to Joseon in early 18th Century and has influenced late Joseon genre painting that the Chinese character in the print is portrayed as a Joseon person, and thus shows the trend of being Koreanized.
