EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a Tartar woman performing the Tsi ritual, a traditional superstitious practice aimed at preventing misfortune from entering her home. The woman, dressed in the ethnic attire of the Tartar people, is shown standing before a door, her hands raised in the act of making a Tsi, or offering, to the spirit of the door. The Tsi ritual, also known as door burning or door offering, is deeply rooted in the beliefs of the Buddhist or Fo sect of the Tartar community, particularly in the region of Lao-Kiun. In this practice, the spirit of the door is believed to be sacrificed through the burning of offerings, typically made of paper, incense, and other materials. The smoke from the burning offerings is thought to carry the spirit away, thus warding off any potential misfortune. This intricately detailed engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Tartar people. The image, taken from the comprehensive work "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." published by Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton in London in 1824, showcases the deep-rooted superstitions and rituals that continue to shape the lives of the Tartar community even to this day. The handcoloured copperplate engraving, with its vibrant hues and intricate details, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient practice and offers a window into the diverse and complex world of Tartar traditions.
