Yes, it is amazing, and a lot of hard work to get there! Going by the comments of people who bought the book at the book-signings, they were interested in finding more about Daoism (Taoism.) Thank you for your question!

Part of Chen Rong's Nine Dragon Scroll from the #SouthernSong. The ultimate #dragon painter!

This looks like one of Chen Rong's dragon paintings, or maybe an Ink Dragon copy from the Ming? (just been doing a substack post on dragon paintings)

In Chinese mythology, the Kun (鯤) is a colossal fish dwelling in the northern sea, first recorded in Zhuangzi. When it transforms, it becomes the Peng (鵬), a bird so vast its back spans thousands of miles. In flight, its wings darken the heavens like suspended clouds. 1/2
