At The Asian Art Museum

Have you ever wondered how Chow Yun-Fat runs on rooftops and wields the green destiny? They trained at the temple of Mt. Wudang in China. Here they learned the Tao (pronounced Dao) meaning path. This ancient philosophy traces its origins to the great Sage Laozi. He wrote two books of poetry Classic ofthe Way and Its Power (Tao te ching) and Zhuangzi. In these two philosophical works Laozi are a 'guide to human behavior and experience', and can be found in the Taoist exhibit in the Asian Art Museum. The exhibit, organized in 12 sections and containing more than 150 rare paintings, sculptures, textiles, and ritual ob­ jects, beginning with the origins of Taoism and ending with alchemy and landscape paintings shows how the Taoist would explain cosmology and the different forces in the world. The symbols of Yin and Yang represent the dark and the light energy that formed humanity, and in Ancient china, a green dragon and a white tiger represented these two forces. Many different myths are introduced through out the times and are illustrated in detailed paintings. Beautifully illustrated scrolls display the many different gods of the Taoist pantheon. With works from the early Qing dynasty, one can trace the evolution ofthe hierarchy within the gods, ranging from deities to emperors to the common man. Natalie With careful attention to intricate detail, these pieces are a marvel in and of themselves. The exhibit continues leading into the divine manifestations of yin, a section devoted to goddess and female saints. With beautiful porcelain figures ofthe Dipper mother to soothing silk screen prints of saints, this portion ofthe exhibit explores Shahmiri and a region of ancient culture that is not often displayed. One gallery of particular interest was that of the perfected warrior, Zhenwu (pronounced "zhun-woo"). A deity^with human form, Zhenwu is accredited with introducing the world to taiqi (tai ch'i). Especially revered during the third Ming Yuri Silagin dynasty, this perfected warrior has countless works of art and temples created in attribution to his greatness as one of the human deities in the Buddhist pantheon. Included in the museum are bronze sculptures, scrolls, and paintings all in the Lead You likeness of this great warrior. In the gallery of Taoist rituals there are a variety of ceremonial robes, incense burners, and swords. Taoist rituals are much like a performance and can last hours, and sometimes days. Often performed by a priest, there are ritual dances, Through This sacrifices, and strong belief in talismans. Colorful and masterfully detailed, this portion of the exhibit is like candy for the eyes. The exhibit of inner and outer alchemy contains graphs, symbols, and guides to reaching a perfect balance of harmony in Exquisite ones life. Primarily books, this section requires a bit more concentration, but can be the most fulfilling in the understanding of Taoism. To the Taoists, outer alchemy was a chemical search for a pill or elixir of immortality, while inner alchemy was a Collection means for the individual to achieve unification with the Tao through moral integrity and spiritual purity. If all was achieved, the person would be reborn as an immortal. The final exhibit includes landscape paintings. To the Taoist, the landscape corresponds to the qi within the person. Some paintings depict mythical sacred mountains populated by Taoist immortals, while others depict real mountains known for their Taoist temples. At the end of the exhibition are a series of informational videos as well as a hands-on opportunity to create your own Taoist artwork. A spectacular collection of Ancient art, the Taosit exhibit is a must see before its departure in mid-May.
