She was the daughter of a man of Tsêng-ch'êng near Canton, who dreamed that a spirit gave her instructions on how to obtain immortality. She fed on mother of pearl, vowed herself to virginity, and passed her life wandering among the hills as swiftly as a bird, gathering herbs, until she was enabled to dispense with ordinary human food. News of her wonder reached the ears of the Empress Wu, who invited her to the Court. However, while journeying, she disappeared in broad daylight, only to be seen once more floating upon a cloud above the temple of Ma Ku, again near her native place. This carving depicts Ho Hsien Ku holding a stem of lotus against her shoulder and carrying loquat fruits she gathered for her mother. The carver may have tried to show her wandering around the hills with her askance look and a rather odd posture, the right leg advanced and the left turned sideways. The stand is part of the figure. With her emblem, the self-raising lotus flower, she is the patron deity of virgins and unmarried ladies. She is also a celebrity chef and Goddess of Housekeeping."},{"label":"Title","value":"Figurine of Ho Hsien Ku"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
