Product details
Adventures of Nezha is inspired by the protection deity in Chinese folk religion of the same name, Nezha. The piece dramatically portrays Nezha's birth and growth; through sacrificing his own life to the Dragon King, he ended the drought of his nation and brought rain and prosperity to his people. Later he was reborn as a deity earning the title of 'Third Lotus Prince'.
Nezha is often portrayed in a childlike form, travels on Fire Wheels across the sky and is often seen with a Universe Ring, Red Sash and Spear.
Nezha was a huge inspiration to many Chinese children growing up. Likewise, I was fascinated with the depth and strength of his character and was drawn to the duality of his child-like innocence and his willingness to put the happiness of others before himself.
