This photograph print depicts TS OEI-Cheng-Niang-Niang, the revered Chinese goddess believed to hasten childbirth. Dating back to the early 20th century, this image offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural history of Chinese childbirth practices. TS OEI-Cheng-Niang-Niang, also known as the Goddess of Easy Childbirth or the Goddess of Mercy, is an essential figure in Chinese folklore and mythology. She is often depicted as a compassionate and nurturing deity, with a serene expression and a plump, maternal figure, cradling a baby in one arm and holding a ruyi scepter in the other. The ruyi scepter is a symbol of authority and good fortune, believed to bring ease and comfort to laboring women. The photograph captures the goddess in a traditional setting, surrounded by intricate decorations and symbolic objects. The ornate red lanterns, a common element in Chinese celebrations, add to the festive atmosphere. The intricate patterns on the wall and the delicate embroidery on the goddess's robe reflect the meticulous attention to detail and the importance of aesthetics in Chinese culture. This photograph is a testament to the enduring role of traditional beliefs and practices in Chinese society, particularly in the context of childbirth. Despite the advancements in modern medicine, TS OEI-Cheng-Niang-Niang remains an essential figure in Chinese folklore and continues to be revered by many as a protector and guide during pregnancy and childbirth. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the cultural and spiritual beliefs that have shaped Chinese society for centuries.
