Description: From Paludan's source: "Jiajing on his state barge. Scroll c. 1538, artists unknown. Imperial journeys were used to impress the population with the emperor's power and wealth, and he travelled in luxury with a vast entourage. Journeys by water provided a useful opportunity for inspecting the upkeep of the all-important water-transport system and the maintenance of irrigation works and dykes (National Palace Museum, Taiwan)."
