Assiette avec un qilin — Histoire et analyse

Ce plat est peint avec un qilin, une bête mythique. Selon la légende, un qilin a la peau écailleuse d'un dragon, le corps d'un cerf et les sabots et la queue d'un bœuf. C'est une créature bienveillante, qui évite de marcher sur les insectes ou de manger de l'herbe vivante.

Le qilin possède à la fois des pouvoirs masculins (qi) et féminins (lin).
