Zhong Kui - Demon Killer and Ghost Eater

Here's a follow up on the Ghost Month theme.  Shortly after our arrival in Taipei we had the great opportunity to visit the National Taiwan Museum which features amazing artistic achievements such as...

1. A boat carved out of an olive pit.  Including movable doors and 7 people seated in and around the boat.  (Actual size: less than 2 inches in length)

2. A head of bok choi carved in white and green jade.  "Glasshopper, you must look closely."

3. And a room fully dedicated to my favorite Chinese character - Zhong Kui, the demon killer.  Check out this simple painting of him hiding devils in his cloak as he crosses the river in his boat to dispose of them properly.

Or maybe you'd prefer this flashier representation of ZK busting a move on the dance floor before devouring a demon or two.  Can't touch this, Indiana Jones!
