In an open pavilion among old pines, several scholars in green and white robes sit in a loose group on mats near bookshelves, a bronze incense burner and tea things; a stream runs under a small arched bridge, with misty peaks and lakeside pavilions beyond.
This group holds people known for learning: thinkers who set out systematic doctrines, historians who wrote, compiled and checked histories, and educators who taught and founded schools. The roles correspond to doctrine, history and teaching; many people held more than one, and the primary role follows the main contribution.
