About the image
What you'll be solving
An oil painting built around a five-clawed royal dragon that stands for the Yangtze, China's longest and most important river. Golden carp and cranes share the composition as emblems of prosperity and of longevity and wisdom, and disembodied human hands appear in the composition—some reverently clasped, others holding a ceremonial weapon to pierce the dragon. Chinese cultural symbolism meets surrealist and humanist ideas across the scene.
