Anecdotes

A Deer of Nine Colors is a story based on the Buddhist Jataka tale. In 1981, it was adapted into an animated film of the same name by Shanghai Animation Film Studio. It is also referred to as The Nine Colored Deer.

Background

The Deer King, known as RuRu in the 2nd century BCE in the Bharhut region of India, was one of the benevolent birds and beasts that the Buddha reincarnated in his previous life to do good deeds.

The "Deer King Jataka painting" is the main theme of the fresco in the 257th cave of the Mogao Grottoes, which was created in the Northern Wei dynasty. The Jataka story refers to the many deeds experienced by the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, before his death. The "Buddha's Birth Story" tells the story of Sakyamuni's previous life as the "Deer King," who saved a drowning man and was betrayed by him.

The Deer King Jataka painting adopts the form of a horizontal sequential comic strip, starting from the two ends and ending in the middle. It blends Chinese and Western artistic techniques, appearing as if painted on a scroll in the traditional Chinese aesthetic, while using shading to highlight the human figures. The first scene on the left shows the nine-coloured deer saving a drowning man.
