Story Two Hundred and Eighty-Four · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

Huanniang

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a clear daytime in the courtyard of an old temple, a white-bearded Daoist in a patched robe sits cross-legged in the covered gallery playing a zither, while a young scholar in the courtyard raises one hand toward the birds that crowd the pine, the cypress and the roof ridge and presses the other hand to his chest, with a bronze incense burner in front and a horse tethered at the open gate beyond.
