EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Door-God - Civil" from 1922, created by an unknown artist. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene of a male figure standing amidst clouds and weather, exuding an aura of protection and divine power. In Chinese folk religions, these figures known as Menshen are revered as guardians of doors and gates, serving to ward off evil forces or invite positive energies into homes. Adorned in vibrant traditional robes that symbolize their role as deities, the man in the photograph stands at the threshold between worlds – both physical and spiritual. His colorful attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of China while emphasizing his significance as a guardian figure. With one hand firmly grasping a walking staff, he embodies strength and authority. This portrayal evokes a sense of security for those residing within the household he protects. "The Door-God - Civil" is part of Edward T. C. Werner's renowned book "Myths and Legends of China, " published by George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd in 1922. Through this powerful illustration, we catch a glimpse into ancient Chinese folklore and traditions that have withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, it invites us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also to contemplate the enduring concept of guardianship across different cultures throughout history.
