Wild Geese in Autumn over the Grave of The Emaciated Immortal,
An oil painting by Edgar Francisko Jimenez1

This painting was based on photographs I took at the grave of Zhu Quan, Christmas, 1999. The grave is in the countryside west of Nanchang, just outside a village where everyone has the surname Zhu. The pillars in the center are spirit posts put in front of the grave to ward off evil spirits.

Zhu Quan compiled Shen Qi Mi Pu and is the reputed author of Wild Geese in Autumn. Wild Geese are associated with exile and Zhu Quan is thought to have considered himself in exile in Nanchang.
