“A man was sitting in the clouds, wearing cloud shoulders. Mother Lan opened her mouth, and after a while she said in a seductive voice: “Your mother-in-law is very special. “With a necklace on her neck and two pairs of full and powerful wings on her back… I heard, “Sister Hua, what are you talking about? Why does our marriage have nothing to do with you?” “Come on, this is a character from mythology, and he has always been ‘living’ on this stone carving of mine. Why are auspicious clouds, lotus flowers, wings, these elements from different nations and cultures mixed together so harmoniously? ? Don’t forget, my ‘birthplace’ Quanzhou has witnessed the cultural prosperity and integration brought by the ‘Maritime Silk Road’, and also demonstrated the innovation and tolerance of Chinese traditional culture. ”

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 in clouds and wearing a wide-sleeved robe. “What kind of future happiness? You know the situation of his family, but you know that his family does not have it.” There is no servant at home, so he needs to do everything by himself? Mom disagrees! Holding a blooming lotus in front of her belly, not only Lan Yuhua is observing her maid Cai Xiu in secret, but Cai Xiu is also observing. Her own master. She always felt that the young lady who committed suicide in the swimming pool seemed to have grown up overnight. Not only had she become mature and sensible, but she also knew how to be considerate of others. The innocence, arrogance and willfulness of the past were gone forever. It feels like a different person. There is a cross on the top, and there are streamers behind the two pairs of wings spread out on the shoulders. It is now collected in the Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum.
