Ascending Dragons

Title: Ascending Dragons
Edition: 2/5
Date Shot: 27th January 2021
Location: Fuk Tak Temple, Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong

Description:
The dragon boat head is resting in an individual enclosure within the Fuk Tak Temple complex in Shau Kei Wan. Dragon boat heads are considered sacred and celestial beings hence the ceremony around the dotting of the eyes preceding Dragon Boat race day, also leading to this example being dutifully cared for during its pass from this plain to the next.

The origins of the Dragon Boat Festival can be found in several stories. The most famous are about Qu Yuan, China’s first patriotic writer and Wu Zixu, a once-loyal advisor to the King Fuchai. Dragon boat racing originated in southern central China more than 2,500 years ago.

Qu Yuan was a Minister in one of the Warring State governments, Chu. He was slandered by jealous government officials and banished by the King.
Out of disappointment in the Chu Monarch, he drowned himself into the Miluo River. He was very popular with the common people, who rushed to the water and tried to recover his body. They also scattered rice into the water to feed the fish, to prevent them from eating Qu Yuan's body, which is one of the origins of Zongzi, the traditional rice dish eaten to this day to remember him.

In commemoration of Qu Yuan, people hold dragon boat races yearly on the day of his death. Before Qu Yuan waded in the Miluo River and drowned himself, he wrote a famous lyrical poem 离骚 Li Sao (“Sorrow in Estrangement”).

(The poem inscribed by local artist Grand Master Tso.)

Cassia and pepper of the mountain-side , with melilotus white in clusters vied.
杂申椒与菌桂兮,岂维纫夫蕙芷!

The way was long, and wrapped in gloom did seem, as I urged on to seek my vanished dream.
路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索。

Long did I sigh and wipe away my tears, to see my people bowed by griefs and fears.
长太息以掩涕兮,哀民生之多艰。

But since my heart did love such purity, I’d not regret a thousand deaths to die.
亦余心之所善兮,虽九死其犹未悔。

Without delay the sun and moon sped fast, in swift succession spring and autumn passed;
日月忽其不淹兮,春与秋其代序。

Ling Muki Artist Statement:
This collaborative piece with Dickie is particularly special to me. Through photography, we not only tell a story, but also invite viewers to imagine their own stories. In this artwork, Muki enters the real world for the first time, specifically Hong Kong, in a photograph taken by Dickie.
While enjoying a traditional Hong Kong soft serve ice cream, she curiously watches the bicycle man work, taking in everything around her. This piece is a celebration of our vibrant and textured Hong Kong, brimming with emotions.
By combining painting and photography, we aimed to capture the essence of this city's unique beauty and cultural diversity. Just as Hong Kong embraces different cultures and possibilities, we hope this piece inspires viewers to embrace their own uniqueness and individuality.
