EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Chiang Tzu-Ya at K'un-lun in 1922. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to an already intriguing subject. Chiang Tzu-Ya, a nobleman from 11th century China, played a pivotal role in aiding kings Wen and Wu of Zhou in overthrowing the Shang dynasty. In this scene, we see Chiang Tzu-Ya standing amidst the majestic Kunlun mountains, his presence commanding attention. Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, he exudes power and authority. A white crane gracefully perches on his shoulder, symbolizing both wisdom and transcendence. The composition evokes a sense of disbelief as we witness the moment when Chiang Tzu-Ya's head is taken by the mythical bird. This tragic event unfolds against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty - a juxtaposition that heightens its impact. The rich colors and intricate details bring forth the essence of ancient Chinese culture and mythology. The print serves as an illustration from "Myths and Legends of China" by E. T. C Werner, published by George G. Harrap & Co. , Ltd. , London in 1922. This remarkable portrayal transports us back to a time where legends were born and myths shaped civilizations. It reminds us that even within history's darkest moments lies extraordinary tales waiting to be discovered.
