Who was Wu Daozi? What did he show to the emperor and how did he disappear?
Dear student,
Here is the answer:
Wu Daozi was a Chinese painter of the Tang dynasty.
The emperor asked Wu to show him his sketches. Wu said that all the sketches were in his heart. Wu painted the landscape on the wall depicting the 300-kilometer-long scenery along the river in just one day. When it was finished, the emperor surprised by the painting skills.
Wu's death was a myth. One story was that he painted a mural of a natural scene in the palace one day. He drew a door on the mural in the side of a hill. When he clapped his hands the door on the mural opened. After entering, Wu invited the emperor to follow. But the emperor could not go inside as the door closed suddenly. Wu disappeared inside his own painting and was never seen again.
Regards
