— Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain :
The artwork is a 1:10 scale version of the renowned Yuan dynasty blue-and-white porcelain jar, Guiguzi Going Down the Mountain, auctioned by Christie’s for £15 million.
Guiguzi is one of the most renowned strategists in Chinese history, symbolizing wisdom and philosophical insight. His many disciples rose to prominence during the Warring States period, leaving a profound impact on that tumultuous era.
However, Guiguzi himself chose to retreat into the mountains, far removed from worldly fame and fortune. Yet, when his disciples or the nation faced critical crises, he would unhesitatingly step forward, resolving dangers and saving the day. Once his mission was accomplished, he would withdraw again, returning to his life of seclusion.
At different stages of life, the wisdom and philosophy embodied by Guiguzi offer unique insights. From him, one can draw inspiration about the depth of strategy, the virtue of detachment, and the ability to maintain inner peace and responsibility in turbulent times.
These legendary stories and figure, so full of inspiration, now grace your wrist, narrating timeless wisdom and accompanying you with an air of elegant intelligence.
