EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Miao Shan Reaches the Nunnery, 1922" takes us back to ancient China, where mythology and tradition intertwine. The image depicts a moment from the legendary tale of Miao Shan, also known as Kwan Yin. Sentenced to exile in the Monastery of the White Sparrow by her father for rejecting marriage, Miao Shan's journey unfolds before our eyes. In this outdoor scene, we see a solitary figure dressed in vibrant red robes standing at the entrance of the convent. The traditional costume signifies her commitment to religious life and emphasizes her role as a mythical figure. The intricate details on her dress reflect centuries-old Chinese artistry. The building exterior showcases exquisite architectural elements with its colorful roof and elegant eaves. This setting transports us into an era when spirituality was deeply ingrained in everyday life. As we gaze upon this portrait captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded of E. T. C Werner's book "Myths and Legends of China". Published by George G. Harrap & Co. , London in 1922, it serves as a testament to how these timeless stories continue to captivate audiences across generations. This print not only offers a glimpse into Chinese history but also invites us to ponder themes such as punishment, devotion, and personal sacrifice that resonate even today. It is truly a treasure that allows us to connect with both the past and our own humanity.
