拍品描述 翻译
Exceptionally detailed Li dragon cover (long bei), of silk embroidery on cotton, Hainan, China, late Ming/ early Qing period (18th/19th century). Size: 78'' x 51'' x '' (198 x 130 x cm). It features dancing lions, white cranes, a pair of mythical phoenixes and other symbols of good fortune and longevity bordered by an extraordinary array of trees, flowers and birds. Three lines above and two lines below the center are filled with rows of what appear to be frogs, harbingers of rain and symbols of abundance. It is quite unusual for a dragon cover in this style not to include dragons! There is minor wear to the silk embroidery which looks to be all original with no overstitching detected.The Li dragon cover, long bei, is one of the most fascinating textiles in the Asian world. Neither tribal nor traditional, neither all Li, a tribal group on Hainan Island, south China, nor all Han Chinese, it appears a hybrid, underscoring the theory that during the late Ming or early Qing period the palace in Beijing sent prototype drawings with royal iconography to Hainan and demanded that the Li copy them in silk embroidery on their fine quality cotton to send as mostly three-panel tapestries to the Court as tribute. It is held that the Li secretly made dragon covers for themselves and used them clandestinely during their most important ceremonies and rituals. Li long bei are rare. Production by the Li for themselves would have been extremely limited by cost, the need for secrecy and fear of punishment by government officials were they to be found out. Of the few that were kept, at least some would have succumbed to the ravages of time, insects and climate. Then, beginning with the Cultural Revolution in 1966, the Red Guard raided the island's cities and villages, and seized and destroyed all evidence of art and culture including any long bei they found.
