Republican God of Wealth
'Republican God of Wealth'
Yangjiabu, Shandong
40 x 52 cm
modern reprint of early 20th century image
Whereas people are most often represented wearing official robes, this image contains at least one man dressed in the fashion of the late-Qing dynasty or Republican era (1912-1949). This seems to suggest that the desire for wealth could be updated in the twentieth century.
