EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Chinese history - the arrival of Emperor K'ang-Hsi for his 60th birthday celebration in Peking. Taken during the early 18th century, this Chinese woodcut showcases the grandeur and excitement surrounding this auspicious event. The image transports us to the bustling streets of Peking, where an enormous crowd has gathered to witness their beloved emperor's arrival. The cityscape is adorned with traditional architecture, featuring intricate roofs and arches that add to its majestic charm. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to a river flowing peacefully nearby, adding a serene touch amidst all the commotion. In the foreground, we see horsemen and camel riders making their way through the streets towards an elaborate stage set up for entertainment. The emperor himself can be seen atop a magnificent camelback, surrounded by his loyal subjects who eagerly await his presence. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as performers prepare to showcase their talents on stage. Spectators line both sides of the street, eager to catch a glimpse of their revered leader and partake in this joyous celebration. This remarkable woodcut not only immortalizes Emperor K'ang-Hsi but also provides us with a window into ancient Chinese culture and traditions. It serves as a testament to China's rich history and reminds us of its enduring legacy even centuries later.
