EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the reverence and devotion of ancient Chinese people towards their Deity of Fortune, also known as the Chinese god of Immortality. The photo print, dating back to 1726, depicts a grand sacrificial scene taking place in China. The central figure in the image is the Deity of Fortune, who is depicted as a rotund, bearded man holding a fan and a scepter, symbolizing power and authority. He is surrounded by various offerings and symbols of wealth, signifying the belief that the deity could bestow good fortune upon his devotees. The scene is filled with intricate details that reflect the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Chinese religion. The background is adorned with elaborate decorations, including dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures, which are believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The offerings on the altar, such as food, wine, and jade, are symbolic of the hope for a bountiful harvest, longevity, and prosperity. The act of sacrifice, as depicted in this image, was an essential part of ancient Chinese religious practices. People believed that by making offerings to their deities, they could establish a connection with the divine world and receive blessings in return. The Deity of Fortune, in particular, was believed to grant immortality and eternal youth, making him a highly revered and sought-after deity. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious practices and beliefs of ancient China, providing valuable insights into the country's rich history and cultural heritage. The intricate details and symbolism in the image serve as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the deep connection between people and their deities.
