Chinese woodcut, eating linseed in autumn counteracts dryness
Title
Chinese woodcut, eating linseed in autumn counteracts dryness
Description

The image shows a distinguished gentleman, seated before a painted screen, flanked by two attendants. In the foreground stands a farmer, holding a flax (linseed) plant. The gentleman is expounding the health-giving virtues of eating linseed in the autumn. Autumn is a particularly dry season, but eating the right amount of linseed is supposed to restore moisture to the body and counteract the harm caused by climatic dryness.
