| Zhu Quan Wild Geese in Autumn Portrait of Zhu Quan | 首頁 |
| Wild Geese in Autumn over the Grave of The Emaciated Immortal | 秋鴻圖 |
| An oil painting by Edgar Francisko Jimenez1 |
This painting was based on photographs I took at the grave of
Zhu Quan, Christmas, 1999. The grave is in the countryside west of Nanchang, just outside a village where everyone has the surname Zhu. The pillars in the center are spirit posts put in front of the grave to ward off evil spirits.
Zhu Quan compiled Shen Qi Mi Pu and is the reputed author of the melody Wild Geese in Autumn (Qiu Hong). Wild Geese are associated with exile and Zhu Quan is thought to have considered himself in exile in Nanchang.

Edgar Francisko Jimenez
Originally from Columbia, he studied calligraphy and Chinese painting in China. A number of his paintings can be found online, but the most specific information I have for his current location, dated 2009 (in Spanish), says that in 2006 he left Toronto to return to Bogotá. Two other images by him on this website are with:
The influence of his Chinese training can also be seen in some of his paintings on Western themes, such as this Danza del Sol.
