EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Wu Ti, also known as Guan Di or Kuan Ti, the Chinese war god, and his devoted squire, Chou-tsan. Dating back to before 1928, this image showcases the rich history and symbolism of Chinese mythology. Wu Ti, often portrayed with a fierce red face and dressed in green robes, is a revered deity in Chinese culture, believed to protect soldiers and bring victory in war. His image is a common sight in military camps and temples, and he is often invoked by soldiers before going into battle. Accompanying Wu Ti is his loyal squire, Chou-tsan. Chou-tsan, also known as Zhoucang or Zhurong, is a god of agriculture and fire, and is believed to have been a loyal general under the legendary Emperor Guan. He is often depicted holding a fan or a flag, and is believed to bring good fortune and protection to those who worship him. The dynamic composition of this print, with Wu Ti in the center, radiating power and strength, and Chou-tsan on the right, showing reverence and devotion, highlights the deep bond between the war god and his faithful companion. This print is a testament to the enduring influence of Chinese mythology and the rich symbolism it holds for the Chinese people.
