The scene depicted on the present vase can
h
c
n
be identified as Li Jing Wen Jin (Li Jing
e
b
i
e
d
a asking about the ford), a narrative derived
n
g
k
i
s
m
r
o
t
f from the renowned Ming-dynasty novel,
h
Investiture of the Gods. In this tale, Li Jing, a
n
e
i
t
s
v
t
I
n
p prominent general and statesman, dispatches
m
r
o
i
h his son, Li Guang, to explore a river ford in
i
s
o
n
s
i
p
c
a
i
n
a anticipation of a military campaign against
t
b
h
e
e
r
t
the rebel An Lushan. Li Jing's inquiry about
e
o
d
r
h
the ford extends beyond the physical location
t
f
t
o of the river crossing; it serves as a metaphor
r
e
f
h
f for seeking advice and guidance. Li Jing
r
o
s
e
k
e
Wen Jin has since evolved into a Chinese
i
n
e
W
J
n
d
i
t
m
idiom that symbolizes the act of seeking
i
o
d
v
a advice or guidance in challenging situations.
i
e
c
It embodies a humble and wise approach to
m
I
o
e
b
t
r
e
m
b
problem-solving, recognizing the necessity for
o
p
l
a assistance and knowledge from others.
