Beast Creature Creatures Deity Folk Lore Rides Waves
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the Chinese deity Han Tchong-li, also known as Han Tianzi or Liu Bang, riding a magnificent sea creature across the waves. Han Tchong-li was the founder of the Han Dynasty in China, which lasted from 206 BCE to 220 CE, making it one of the most significant periods in Chinese history. The legend of Han Tchong-li riding a sea beast is deeply rooted in Chinese folk lore and mythology. According to the story, during his military campaign to unify China, Han Tchong-li encountered a formidable enemy, the powerful warlord Xiang Yu. In order to reach Xiang Yu's stronghold, Han Tchong-li sought the help of the sea goddess Mazu. Mazu, moved by Han Tchong-li's determination and righteousness, granted him the power to ride a sea creature, allowing him to cross the treacherous waters and reach his enemy's stronghold. This photograph, taken in 1915, is a beautiful representation of this legendary moment. The sea creature, with its powerful limbs and serene expression, seems to glide effortlessly through the waves. Han Tchong-li, dressed in traditional Chinese armor and holding a sword, appears calm and determined as he rides the beast. The image captures the essence of Chinese mythology and the rich history of the Han Dynasty, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of Chinese folklore and the importance of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history. It is a reminder of the legendary figures and stories that have shaped Chinese culture and continue to inspire and captivate people around the world.
