Defiance in Red
Another culture piece this time of a Guǐ. Which just means invisible, unworldly or formless in chinese. Which roughly can translate into a demon, ghost, or soul of the dead.
I just felt like drawing something gnarly, and I wanted to pick something from one of my cultures. I may do other cultural monsters/demons from Jamaica and China in the future.
Had fun with this with minimal shading letting my lines speak vs high shading. might continue this route in the future with my sketches <.<;

an anonymous work of Chinese folklore, is dated from the Northern Wei dynasty (386-534 AD), a period marked by significant Silk Road cultural exchanges and the spread of Buddhism, influenced Chinese art, music, and literature, including Mulan's tale. It was first transcribed in the 6th-century "Musical Records of Old and New" by Guo Maoqian during the Song dynasty.
The ballad embodies key Confucian principles such as Xiao (family devotion) and loyalty (zhong). Confucius (551-479 BC) was a Chinese philosopher whose teachings on ethics and proper conduct, recorded in the "Analects," have profoundly shaped Chinese culture and emphasized social harmony through respect and integrity. These values emphasize respect for family and duty to the state, which are central themes in Mulan’s decision to enlist in the army to protect her aging father.
UNIVERSAL TRUTHS: Filial piety, a key Confucian value, highlights the deep respect and loyalty children owe to their parents and ancestors. Today, filial piety remains crucial in modern Chinese culture, often shown by caring for elderly parents and upholding family obligations. Within your own family, do you see filial piety as a core value? Are you prepared to make personal sacrifices to benefit your family members?
Overcoming Gender barriers: The ballad illustrates that personal empowerment and heroism are not confined by gender. Similar themes appear in historical figures like Joan of Arc, who led French troops, and Deborah Sampson, who fought in the American Revolutionary War disguised as a man. The ballad of Mulan ultimately recognizes Mulan’s merit and contributions based on her abilities rather than her gender, advocating for the value of personal achievement and character over rigid gender stereotypes.

The Goddess Guanyin (also known as Avalokitesvara) is commonly associated with the spirit of compassion. No matter it is of Buddhism, Taoism, or even Chinese folklore, Guanyin is often known as the Goddess of Mercy. Its name in short Guanshiyin may define into "[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World". The Goddess was stated in thr Precious Scroll of Fragrant Mountain describing an incarnation of Guanyin named Miaoshan as the daughter of a cruel king who wanted her to marry a wealthy but uncaring man. According to the story, as her father get her to marry the wealthy man, she told him that she would obey his command, so long as the marriage eased three misfortunes: 1️⃣ Ease one's suffering as aged; 2️⃣ Ease one's suffering when got ill; 3️⃣ Ease one's suffering indue of death. When her father asked who could ease all the above, Miaoshan unexpectedly pointed out a doctor, instead. This has pissed her father, therefore, forced her into hard labour and reduced her food and drink. She often begged to enter the temple and become a nun almost everyday. Her father eventually allowed her to work in the temple, but asked the monks to give her the toughest chores in order to discourage her. But animals within the animals living in the temple tend to help her with her chores. 💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮 Guanyin, the sign of mercy and compassion, too is associated with vegetarianism practice. #guanyin #guanshiyin #goddessofmercy #miaoshan #compassion #mercy #Buddhism #Taoism #ChineseFolklore #travelreview #travelthailand #visitthailand #thailand #hatyai #travelhatyai #visithatyai #hatyaimunicipalpark #kanchanawanit #songkla #songkhla (at Municipal Park Hat Yai) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bru0tEzjzh-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b0beut07x1m8
