Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
The holding museum's own collection record for the accessioned Yuan-dynasty scroll, whose own title names Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, and Zhu Xi as the three scholars portrayed. The museum's live page blocks automated retrieval, so this record is corroborated by two independently read secondary sources carrying the identical title and attribution before citation.
