Artist's Description
This digital painting showcases a magnolia tree with Spadecaller’s vision of the legendary rainbird in Chinese mythology.
The Shangyang in Chinese mythology was a rain bird. It was associated with the Lord of Rain. The legend of Shangyang recalls when the bird visited the royal court and performed a dance on its one leg. To interpret the extraordinary dance, an emissary was sent to Confucius, who revealed the bird’s message. The bird’s dance had described the coming of a catastrophic rainstorm. Confucius recommended building drainage basins and the raising of dikes. Those that followed the sage’s advice were spared calamity, but the communities that failed to follow the advice received heavy damage. The legendary story of the rain bird is used to illustrate the folly of those who ignore the words of the wise. "The Shangyang Rainbird," is a hand-painted digital image created in Spadecaller's Florida Studio.
