Zhong Kui, in a red official uniform, holds ice-cracked and clear porcelain with both hands high. There are plum branches in full bloom in the vessel. He cherishes and cares very much. There are two cranes beside him. One of the cranes and Zhong Kui are looking at each other, seeming to be talking. Think of the Buddhist allusion of the smile between Buddha and Kassapa. Xia Jingshan contrasts with the image of Zhong Kui, a powerful man, with the cultural connotation of the red-crowned crane's loyalty, integrity, and high moral character. I hope that the world can always introspect and be alert to the heart.
