Mid-Autumn

Artist: Qi Baishi (1864-1957)

A painting of osmanthus.

Osmanthus appears in mid-autumn paintings frequently because ancient Chinese people believed that there was a huge verdant osmanthus tree on the moon. Under the intertwined tree branches there was a man named Wu Gang, who was wielding an ax chopping it.
