Notes
- Abstract:
- This print depicts the living god of wealth Hu Xuedu accompanied by his male assistant Wei Aduo in a luxurious environment being surrounded by a group of eight beauties that personify the regions of the Western countries, Japan, Canton, Shanghai, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Qihua. It appears to be an allegory for the wealth of China brought about by trade since the ladies all bear valuable gifts, and the two gentlemen may well have been prominent businessmen or heads of guilds.
