| Ch: Lofuxian. The story and pictorial theme of "an immortal on Mt. Lofu (Jp: Rafusen) and the spirit of the plum tree". The legend goes that one day, the Sui 隋 dynasty (581-618) Zhao Shixiong (Jp: Chou Shiyuu 趙師雄) climbed Mt. Lofu. Entering a wineshop to warm himself, he encountered a beautiful woman wearing a white gown and white face powder. Her fragrance and voice were equally sweet, upon exchanging wine cups with her, he fell into an intoxicated sleep. Awakened by the cold dawn wind, Zhao found himself under a blossoming plum tree and realized that the beautiful woman of the previous night was the spirit of the plum tree. Depictions typically show a beautiful Chinese court lady standing in front of a flowering prunus, as in Iwasa Matabee's 岩佐又兵衛 (1578-1650) well-known painting. | ||||||
