Abstract
This article puts into the scientific circulation the new iconographic source – the painting scroll «Jingying bingji» wich is the valuable source of the Qing military and court costume of 18th century as well as the weapons and accessories of the Qing warriors. The scroll depicting Qing ministers and generals distinguished themselves during the pacification of Taiwan in 1787-1788 is considered in connection with the other painting scrolls and iconographic sources of other kinds. Researches of the Qing iconography seem to be actual not only from the point of view to get additional data about outlook of the people of the epoch studied as it allows to get the comprehensive impression of that epoch. But it seems to be actual also from the point of view that we need to discover the new genuine iconographic objects from Qing period as now researches face the abundance of the information about non-verified objects of Qing iconography. It makes impediments to the researchers to study these objects and apply the data received in these researches.
Supporting agencies: The study was performed as the part of the realization of the State task of the Ministry of Science and High Education of the Russian Federation in the field of scientific activity (project No. FSUS-2020-0021).
