Beskrivelse
Handscroll; Ink on silk; 420cm(width)*22cm(height) The painting depicts a procession of Daoist gods, with deities of the highest rank making their way to pay homage to the "primordial," or Dao. In the painting, celestial generals open the way, with the emperor wearing a halo among them. Numerous other gods and goddesses hold banners and umbrellas attending to the emperor, marching from right to left. Although there are numerous characters in the painting, it is not at all chaotic. Its lines are smooth and the clothing flows, fluttering in the wind as if the gods truly float on air. The figures are in high spirits, each with a different bearing and wearing different headgear and guards of honor, thoroughly expressing the majesty of the emperor, the might of the celestial generals, and the grace of the fairies.
