- Description:
The waves surge, the island floats in the sky, and all the female immortals come riding the Lin and the crane. Pine trees are thick on the island. The female fairy in the middle writes a letter. The female fairy plays Ruan on one side, and the phoenix in front dances accordingly. The female fairy in the middle prepares tea and peach fruits. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the belief in the Golden Mother of Yaochi became increasingly popular, and the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountain represented longevity. In the Taoist classics of the Six Dynasties, the Queen Mother of the West led the Nuzhen throne and had the responsibility of imparting Taoist scriptures. Such images may be the source of the concept of painting images of the Queen Mother of the West and China.
