The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Count Ladies scroll has passed through the hands of many collectors over the centuries, and its has been stamped by many seals and remounted for many times. The concern in this paper is not with the painting itself, but with the collecting activities rebuilt from records, inscriptions and seals about or on the scroll. Because there is a ‘Hong wen zhi yin’ on the scroll, it has been induced that the painting was once in the Tang imperial collection. But, in fact, this seal is fake. Although the ‘Ruisi Dongge’ and the ‘Neifu tushu zhi yin’ of Huizong are genuine, the placements of the ‘Neifu tushuy zhi yin’ is not as usual. It’s highly possible that the two seals were removed from other works. The small ‘Xuanhe’ seals and the ‘Shaoxing’ seals of Gaozong are all fake that added later. Seals will not disappear when their owners die. The original owner of the seal ‘Xianzhitang yin’ was Gaozong’s wife, but it became to be in the possession of Hua Hsia (ca. 1465-1566) in Ming dynasty. These facts confuse us on which one impressed the seal on the painting. We also confused about if it was once in the imperial collection of Jin dynasty or Zhangzong (1168-1208). Because although the seal ‘Guangrendian’ is fake, the seal ‘Oun yu zhong mi’ is acceptable. Moreover, the transcription of the ‘Admonitions’ written by Zhangzong follows the painting was not part of the scroll when Yan Song (1480-1565) owned it. The painting and the transcription were not mounted together until they are in Liang Qing-biao’s (1620-1691) hand. We can see that by observing the cutting edges of the transcription. In the top left corner of the front border-panel of the Admonitions is inscribed half of an accession or inventory number, which reads ‘Juan zi qishi hao’, it might be the confiscatory record by Ming government.
