This scene depicts one of the famous episodes in Romance of the Western Chamber. Zhang Sheng, a scholar, has fallen in love with Cui Yingying, the prime minister's daughter, and climbs over a wall to see her. Such improper behavior for a scholar amused readers, and potters often borrowed the visual representations of the books in decorating their ceramics.
