EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Han Xiangzi, a Daoist immortal from late 15th to early 16th century China. Created by artist Liu Jun during the Ming dynasty, this artwork depicts Han Xiangzi gracefully walking on the surface of a turbulent sea while playing a melodious tune on his bamboo flute. Barefoot and dressed in vibrant fabric, Han Xiangzi embodies the essence of Daoism with his serene expression and harmonious connection to nature. The ink and color on silk technique used by Liu Jun adds depth and texture to this mesmerizing portrait. As one of the Eight Immortals in Chinese mythology, Han Xiangzi symbolizes spiritual enlightenment and transcendence. His ability to walk effortlessly on water serves as a metaphor for overcoming life's challenges with grace and ease. Displayed as a framed hanging scroll, this artwork is an exquisite representation of China's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the mystical world of Daoism, where music becomes a powerful tool for spiritual awakening. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Liu Jun not only captures the beauty of traditional Chinese art but also pays homage to centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire us today.
