19Jan Oriental Goddess and Mountain Ghost Series
Two artists came from Szechuan earthquake-infected area stunned the arts community with their realistic oil paintings at the first arts festival held at Huang Jue Ping. The oil paintings album is titled “Oriental Goddess and Mountain Ghost Series” which features naked lady at fairy-like scenes with different animals. The lady in the paintings is the daughter of the painter.
The painter of “Oriental Goddess” is Li Zhuangping, 61, and his daughter Li Qin is 23 years old. His work was inspired by Qu Yuan’s “Mountain Ghost” and Guo Moruo’s “Mountain Wu’s Goddess”. He then saw that his daughter matched the features of the goddess in the tales, so he asked her daughter if she would like to become his nude model. Li Qin agreed and both of them worked on the paintings for several years and finally created the amazing works. Li Zhuangping said that he wished to paint the hamorny between human and nature, human and animals, and also human and human.
“Mountain Wu’s Goddess” a.k.a. “Wushan’s Goddess” is a goddess in ancient Chinese mythology. Her real name was Yao Ji. There are different sayings about her origins, some said she was the daughter of the Mountain Wu, some said she was Emperor of Heaven’s daughter, and some said she was the daughter of Emperor Yan. She was never married when she was alive. When she passed away, she was buried in Mountain Wu, and later became Goddess. She used to seduce several emperors in dreams, and this led to the using of “Wushan (mountain Wu) Goddess” to praise a pretty lady.

Worthy of very high praise indeed. Li Zhuangping has captured his daughters beauty with exceptional detail.
Li Qin is a lovely young woman of a rare beauty, much like the beauty of a peacock is not revealed too soon so is the Magnificent beauty of Li Qin. It takes time to see beauty beyond a first glimpse. It takes time to look for it beyond what is first seen. The paintings of Li Zhuangping’s daughter are of this beauty. Well worth more than is first seen. Well worth the time of the admirer to discern.
