EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the revered Taoist deity, Yuan Shi Tien-Tsun, also known as the First Principle of the Universe. The image dates back to 1915 and originates from China. Yuan Shi Tien-Tsun is portrayed as a powerful and majestic figure, riding atop a fierce monster, symbolizing his control over the primal forces of the universe. Taoism, one of China's oldest and most enduring religions, holds Yuan Shi Tien-Tsun in high esteem as the supreme deity and the embodiment of the ultimate reality. He is believed to be the source of all creation and the ultimate ruler of the cosmos. The deity's imposing presence is further emphasized by his regal attire, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. His serene expression and the tranquil gaze convey a sense of wisdom and enlightenment, reflecting his role as the primordial deity and the embodiment of the Dao or the Way. The monster beneath him is a representation of the chaotic and primal forces of nature, which Yuan Shi Tien-Tsun has tamed and harnessed, demonstrating his mastery over the universe. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the deity's divine power and his role as the ultimate protector and sustainer of the cosmos. This photograph print offers a unique glimpse into the rich and complex history of Taoist beliefs and practices, providing valuable insights into the cultural and spiritual traditions of China. It is a testament to the enduring influence of Taoism and the continued reverence for its deities, including Yuan Shi Tien-Tsun, the First Principle of the Universe.
