CHINESE VIEW OF ANCIENT CHINA: This grand scale work covers a very large space and is quite handsome suitable for framing and display.

RARITY OF THE MAP AND ITS MAKERS: This grand-scale and truly spectacular work is virtually never found on the market. The Shaolin Monastery monks were the original founders of the celebrated and now famous Kung-fu martial art school located in Henan province. The priests were legendary and the most feared for their martial art prowess. They were also covert with their powerful political force in China. . SHAOLIN SI TEMPLE/MONASTERY LEGENDARY CUSTOMS: Priests who passed the highest level of Kung-fu martial art were invited to participate in a recognition ceremony. They were allowed to self-brand themselves by picking up a red-hot iron brazier that had long temple dragon decorations on the sides. The branding was accomplished by clamping the brazier between their forearms until the dragon image was branded on them. These brazier dragons are identical to the long dragon found at the top of this historic map. Another ancient practices used was the Jieba. It is an ancient ceremony where nine marks are burned onto the head with sticks of incense. In 2007 the Chinese government partially lifted the 300-year ban of the Jieba allowing the the mentally and physically prepared to participate in the ancient tradition. Incense or moxa was used on top of the shaved head and burned in a ceremony of dedication to the Shaolin Si temple/monastery by the most skilled of martial artists. WHY THE DRAGON SYMBOL WAS USED BY SHAOLIN MONKS: The top of the map show the dragon as a symbol of the Shaolin Si. In China the dragon is the first of twelve zodiac animals and is the most powerful of all and represents the ultimate and greatest of all powers known. It is also the one and only legendary animal in the zodiac the rest are actual animals. Because this map was conceived of carved and printed at the Shaolin Xi monastery or temple by these very priests they put the most powerful symbol at the top a dragon. The symbolic meaning indicated that China was superior to all other nations. It was also a private pun by the Shaolin priests indicating for all to see and know that the Shaolin temple and its priests were above all others. Additionally it reminded and indicated that the Shaolin priest were the most powerful martial artists and covert political force in all China. . RARITY: The original Chinese edition has been exceptionally obscure and impossible to come by for over the last two-hundred years and is believed now to be lost to posterity. Shaolin Si temple/monastery imprints are very R A R E ! Few references or examples exist of their woodblock printed works. This edition was a copy of the original re-carved by the Japanese and reissued. Not only is this map of great interest to Chan Zen Buddhists Shaolin Kung-fu collectors martial artists and historians but to students of Chinese cartography collectors and museums. . CONDITION: The map has been professionally re-backed in its distant past due to the large amount of old worming. It is now solid and stable. Because of the rarity of this work a complete map found in any condition would be now considered exceptionally R A R E !
