EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of Shih Huang Ti, also known as Ch'in Shih Huang Ti or Cheng, the Chinese emperor who reigned from 259 to 210 B. C. The image showcases Emperor Shih Huang Ti's relentless pursuit to recover a sacred cauldron that had fallen into a river. As he reaches out for it, an awe-inspiring dragon emerges from the depths and bites through the rope, thwarting his efforts. The photograph is a rubbing taken from a contemporary tomb dating back to the 1st or 3rd century BC during China's Iron Age. It offers us valuable insights into ancient Chinese culture and beliefs surrounding power and spirituality. Emperor Shih Huang Ti stands tall with his majestic beard symbolizing wisdom and authority. Surrounding him are men who accompany him on this daring quest. The intricate details of their attire reflect the fashion trends of that era. This mesmerizing artwork not only highlights historical events but also showcases artistic excellence through its meticulous execution. The composition skillfully combines elements such as water, fire-breathing dragons, and human figures to create an atmosphere filled with tension and drama. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness one of Emperor Shih Huang Ti's extraordinary endeavors – reminding us of both his ambition as a ruler and his connection with mythical creatures deeply rooted in Chinese folklore.
