The painterly quality, precision in registering (aligning) the woodblocks, and harmonious colors made them the most successful color print editions in Chinese history. Both editions were printed and compiled in Nanjing, spread nationwide, and had a great impact on the arts in Japan and Korea. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1984.45.1/1984.45.1_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1984.45.1/1984.45.1_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1984.45.1/1984.45.1_full.tif
