Origin[]
Yun Shouping (1633 - 1690) was a Chinese calligrapher and painter and one of the major artists of the early Chinese Qing Dynasty. He, along with five other artists were known as the Six Masters of the Qing period.
Yun's style was vibrant and expressive, he would often attempt to display the inner vitality and spirit of his subjects in his paintings. Unafraid of traditionalists he would paint with strong colors like reds and purples, feared to be gaudy and offensive however he would use these to create masterpieces.
Near the end of his life, for an unknown reason Yun created two pieces of odd but beautiful works of art, the Meat-shaped Stone and the Jadeite Cabbage. It wasn't until both pieces were together in one museum that the effects became known as some prankster placed both pieces into the Mao Gong ding. When both pieces and inside of the bronze cauldron pieces of pork and cabbage appear, eating them grants vitality and strength, overeating causes a hunger that cannot be satisfied.
Effects[]
