EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Door-God - Military" from 1922, created by an unknown artist. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene of Chinese folklore, featuring the Menshen, divine guardians of doors and gates in Chinese folk religions. These powerful beings are believed to safeguard against evil forces while welcoming positive energies into homes and establishments. Taken from the book "Myths and Legends of China" by E. T. C. Werner, published by George G. Harrap & Co. , this artwork beautifully captures the essence of traditional Chinese culture and religious practices during the early 20th century. In this illustration, a male figure stands proudly amidst swirling clouds and vibrant colors that adorn his robe and traditional costume. His presence exudes strength, symbolizing protection for households across the country during ancient times. The intricate details on his attire reflect the rich history and artistic heritage of China's Qing Dynasty. This portrayal not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into the profound significance attached to door gods in Chinese mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary deity guarding thresholds with unwavering dedication—a testament to both cultural beliefs and artistic expression that continue to captivate audiences today.
