拍品专文

The Chinese legendary figure of Zhong kui, well known not only as vanquisher of ghosts and demons, but is also as vanquisher of the 'Five Poisonous Creatures' whose poisons he used to distill the Elixir of Life. The image of the five poisonous animals were thus connected with health and longevity and worshipped by those who seek protection, particularly for an only son.
