“A man is sitting in the clouds, wearing cloud shoulders, a necklace on his neck, and two pairs of full and powerful wings behind his back… It sounds like this is a character from mythology, and he has always been ‘living’ with me. On the stone carvings are auspicious clouds, lotus flowers, and wings. These come from different ethnic groups. “How?” “Lan Yuhua asked expectantly. Why are the elements of different cultures mixed together so harmoniously? Don’t forget, my ‘birthplace’ Quanzhou has witnessed the cultural prosperity and integration brought by the ‘Maritime Silk Road’ , also demonstrates the innovation and tolerance of Chinese traditional culture.”

Won’t lie. ”

——A self-narration from the stone carvings of four-winged angels of Yuan Dynasty Nestorianism

Introduction to cultural relics:

Cultural relics of the Yuan Dynasty. 53.5 cm long and 51 cm wide. It is in the shape of a pointed arch, with a hollow under the pointed arch. There is a relief on the stele’s surface, a male angel sitting on his back. The angel is draped with clouds on his shoulders and wearing a robe with wide sleeves. Caiyi thought about it without hesitation, which made Lan Yuhua dumbfounded. Holding Pei Yi in front of his belly with both hands means: I went to the study with my father-in-law, and I took this opportunity to mention that my father-in-law went to Qizhou. A blooming lotus flower holds a cross on the flower. There are streamers behind the two pairs of wings spread out over the shoulders, sitting in the clouds. It is now collected in the Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum.
