Earth Goddess Lightning Mirrors S End Tian Tien Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the Chinese Lightning Goddess, Tian-Mu, a revered deity in Chinese mythology. Tian-Mu, also known as the Mother of Lightning, is believed to have the power to control and send lightning bolts to the earth. In this historical representation, the goddess is shown with an ethereal and serene expression, holding a mirror in each hand. The mirrors are not for self-reflection, but rather, they serve as conduits for the celestial energy she harnesses and channels to the world below. Tian-Mu is a central figure in Chinese mythology, particularly in the religious traditions of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and the later periods. Her mythological origins can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC), where she was worshipped as a goddess of rain and fertility. Over time, her role evolved, and she came to be seen as the goddess of lightning, a symbol of power and protection against the destructive forces of nature. The intricate details of this print, created in 1915, reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship of China. The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors bring the goddess to life, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. The image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the Chinese people and their mythological pantheon, which continues to inspire and captivate generations. As you gaze upon this enchanting print, take a moment to reflect on the enduring power of mythology and the role it plays in shaping our collective imagination. Tian-Mu, the Chinese Lightning Goddess, stands as a testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, reminding us of the beauty and mystery that lies within the natural world.
