The presentiment of death, the feeling "it is all over" is vividly expressed in a masterly manner ; it is the Chinese version of the Last Supper. THE EAITERUR XAO-TSU^ FOUNDER OF THE HAN DYNASTY, OFFERING AN OX, SHEEP, AND HOG IN THE TEMPLE OF CONFUCIUS. With the true instinct of the genuine artist, Wang Chen-p'eng refrained from representing the death of the master. In his final dignified theme, he conceives him as a spirit, as the deified intellec- tual principle of the nation. The Emperor Ka...o-tsu (B. C. 206-195), the founder of the Han dynasty, is worshiping in the temple of the sage, offering the three victims which are a bull, a sheep and a pig (the snovetmtrUia of the Romans), spread on a table below the altar. Se-ma Ts'ien, in his Biography of Confucius,-* relates this event as follows : "The princes of Lu handed down from generation to generation the custom of oiTering sacrifices to K'ung-tse at fixed times of the year. On the other hand, the scholars too performed such rites as the banquet of the district and the practice of archery near the tomb of K'ung-tse.
