Visited the famous Kaifeng Prefecture, where a tall screen wall stands at the entrance, adorned with an image of the mythical creature Xiezhì. This instantly reminded me of the Xiezhì statues along the Sacred Way at the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing. Xiezhì is known for distinguishing right from wrong, making it a perfect symbol here to complement Bao Zheng’s reputation for impartial justice. 🔆‼️‼️‼️
