EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Kitchen-God, 1922" a creation by an unknown artist. The Kitchen God holds immense significance in Chinese culture as the guardian of the hearth and family. Revered in Chinese folk religion, mythology, and Taoism, this deity is beautifully depicted in this artwork from "Myths and Legends of China" by E. T. C. Werner. In this vibrant image, we see a group of people dressed in traditional costumes surrounding the Kitchen-God. The rich blue and red colors adorning their robes add to the visual allure of the scene. A young boy stands at the forefront with a beaming smile on his face, representing happiness and joy within the household. The illustration transports us to early 20th century China, capturing both cultural heritage and religious beliefs intertwined with daily life. It serves as a reminder that protection for one's family is paramount across different societies throughout history. Through its decorative elements and attention to detail, this portrait evokes a sense of reverence towards domestic gods while showcasing aspects of Chinese literature, folklore, and spirituality. This remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only artistic expression but also deep-rooted concepts such as tradition, mythology, and faith that have shaped China's cultural landscape for centuries.
