When K'ung-fu-tze was in his twenties his mother passed away. As is the custom in China, the son of a deceased parent
will mourn for 27 months.
During these two and 1/3 years of mourning K'ung immersed himself in the studies which he so enjoyed.
At the completion of this time of mourning, and in need of money, he began to teach.
This great work of oriental art, "Portrait of Mythical Emporer", was created by an unknown artist. MORE!
