“Ma Gu offered his life” is a widely circulated myth in China. It is said that Magu is a simple and beautiful folk woman. After her death, she became a fairy and lived in Penglai Xiandao. Every year, when the respected Queen Mother of the West celebrated her birthday, Magu used Glossy ganoderma to brew immortal wine as a birthday gift for Queen Mother of the West. Therefore, Magu was also awarded the title of “Female Longevity Immortal” by Queen Mother of the West. Therefore, when people celebrate women’s birthdays, they often draw a picture of “Magu Presenting Her Birthday” as a gift
The picture depicts a Magu in a red cloak, simple and quiet, dignified. The image of a “sick” lady with a beautiful and fragile figure painted by Fei Danxu and Gaiqi since the middle of the Qing Dynasty has changed. It is healthy and fresh, attracting attention. The color in the picture is gorgeous and luxurious, full of decoration, and the lines are vigorous and expressive. It complements the characters in the picture, and is a good painting of Lady Ren Xiong.
