EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Ou-Long, the Transcendental Millipede," transports us back to the rich cultural history of China during the early 20th century. The image depicts a mythological creature, Ou-Long, one of the seven demons of the famed mountain Mei-chan. Ou-Long is shown in a reverent pose, enlisted in the service of the god Tcheou-wang. Mount Mei-chan, located in Sichuan province, has been a significant site of Chinese religion and mythology for centuries. The mountain is home to various deities and mythical beings, including the seven demons. Among them, Ou-Long, a millipede with transcendental powers, is believed to possess the ability to bring rain and ensure a bountiful harvest. In this photograph, we see Ou-Long depicted as a small, intricately carved wooden figure, resting on a red altar. The figure's intricate details, from the multiple legs to the intricate patterns adorning its body, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Chinese craftsmen. The red altar, a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, further emphasizes Ou-Long's role as a deity responsible for ensuring a bountiful harvest. The photograph, taken in 1918, offers a glimpse into the deeply rooted religious and mythological beliefs of the Chinese people. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence Chinese art, literature, and daily life. The image also showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterizes traditional Chinese art.
