Laozi Wins Victory Over the Kang-san-kou-niang: A Mythological Depiction of Laozi Riding an Ox to Triumph over the Goddesses of the Latrine (circa 1914, China) This print depicts a pivotal moment in Chinese mythology, as the revered philosopher Laozi, also known as Lao-tse, triumphs over the Kang-san-kou-niang, the goddesses of the latrine. Laozi, who is considered the founder of Taoism and the author of the Tao Te Ching, is shown riding an ox, a symbol of strength and perseverance, to achieve this unlikely victory. The mythological tale behind this image is rooted in ancient Chinese folklore, where the Kang-san-kou-niang were believed to be malevolent deities who brought misfortune and disease. Laozi, in his wisdom and compassion, sought to bring peace and harmony to the people by vanquishing these goddesses. The image itself is a stunning representation of Chinese art from the early 20th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcase the skill and artistry of the artist, capturing the essence of both the mythological figures and the cultural significance of the story. The ox, with its powerful stance and determined expression, serves as a testament to Laozi's strength and determination, while the goddesses, with their fierce expressions and flowing robes, embody the chaos and disorder they sought to quell. This print offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of Chinese mythology, where gods and goddesses, philosophers and beasts, all played their roles in shaping the beliefs and values of a civilization that has endured for thousands of years.
