His face is black, and is distorted with fierce passion, in character with the uplifted arm, brandishing a sword in menace. In large temples there are usually two other figures of these gods at the opposite side of the porch, where CHINESE ESTHETICS. 1 83 He-ang-ho is usually represented with a pagoda on his outstretched palm, typifying the world and its cities in the hands of the gods. So-Tching-Kong, seated next to him, has an expression of calm dignity and repose, in striking contrast to the... awful fury depicted in the face of the opposite figure. These figures are from twenty to thirty feet in height, and at their base are pigmy models of clay of men and women in the ordinary costumes, and which are in- tended, by their comparative insignificance, to convey an idea of the vast grandeur and power of the prin- cipal figures.
The Chinese have not yet got beyond the rudiments of art, and can only express strength and power by size and extravagance. The exquisite Grecian sense of art, expressed by symmetry of form and majesty of expression, would convey no idea to their perverted minds; and a Yenus without distorted legs, or an Apollo less than twenty feet high, would be looked on with scorn.
