"Winnowing and Sifting" is a significant artwork from the "Gengzhi tu" (耕織圖), or "Pictures of Tilling and Weaving," a renowned series of Chinese paintings that vividly depict agricultural and sericultural activities. This series, attributed to the Ming Dynasty artist Tang Yin (唐寅), also known as Tang Bohu (1470–1524), showcases the various stages of farming and silk production, reflecting the societal emphasis on agriculture and sericulture in ancient China. Tang Yin, one of the most famous literati painters of his time, skillfully combined artistic beauty with a thematic focus on the daily lives of common people, thus elevating the genre of genre painting in Chinese art history.

"Winnowing and Sifting" specifically illustrates the post-harvest processes, capturing the meticulous methods used by farmers to separate grain from chaff and to clean the harvested crop. This piece, like others in the series, is celebrated for its detailed portrayal of these activities, offering insights into the agricultural practices of the time. The artwork not only serves as a historical document but also reflects Tang Yin's mastery in rendering human figures and their interaction with the landscape, a testament to his profound understanding of nature and society.

The "Gengzhi tu" series has been influential in Chinese art, inspiring subsequent versions and reproductions, including woodblock prints and illustrated books, which helped disseminate the themes of agricultural and sericultural diligence throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties. "Winnowing and Sifting," as a part of this illustrious series, holds a special place in the canon of Chinese art for its aesthetic qualities and its cultural significance, embodying the Confucian ideal of harmony between humanity and nature.
