Appendix A is the beginning of the research in list form.

42 My research in this section has been aided by conversations with Peter Lam, Stacey
Pierson, and Wang Guangyao of the Palace Museum (Beijing), over email and in Hong
Kong and Beijing between 2007 and 2008. I am very grateful to them for their guidance
regarding locations of paintings and their willingness to answer questions about
circulation and provenance.

43 The set Taoye tu accompanied by Tang Ying’s text, variously called Taoye tu bian ci
or Taoye tushuo (1743), comprises twenty commentaries paired with accompanying
illustrations. The paintings were originally kept in the Forbidden City, and then left
China, resurfaced in Hong Kong in Christies in 1996 and now in Taiwan in the hands of a
private collector. See Peter Lam, “Tang Ying (1682-1756): The Imperial Factory,
Superintendent at Jingdezhen,” Transactions of the Oriental Ceramics Society 63 (2000):
65-82. In this dissertation, the Tang Ying annotated set will be referred to as the original
set, though the exact dating of these three imperial albums cannot be ascertained at this
time. The Tang Ying annotated set is completely reproduced in Chang Foundation of
Chinese Art, Chinese Art from the Ching Wan Society Collection (Taipei: Chang
Foundation 1998).

The names of the painters appear in the Qing painting catalogue compiled first in 1745
by Zhang Zhao. The Qing catalogue’s title is translated into English as, Precious Book
Box of the Stone Drain (Shiqu baoji), and is a catalogue of secular paintings, textiles, and
art work. See Zhang Zhao ੵ๫, Shiqu bao ji ͩಬᘒᶑ (Taipei: Shangwu yinshuguan,
1983), 66. Qianlong also commissioned a catalogue to record Daoist and Buddhist
paintings, entitled Bidian zhulin ।ํ϶؍, see Patricia Berger, Empire of Emptiness:
