Collectible Introduction
The Shiwan Ji Gong figure is sitting on a stone and having meat and wine on hand. He looks very dignified with his facial expression. Ji Gong (Chinese: 濟公, 2 February 1130 – 16 May 1209 Birthdate Lunar 2nd Month, 2nd Day), born Li Xiuyuan and also known as "Chan Master Daoji" (Chinese: 道濟禪師) was a Zen Buddhist monk who lived in the Southern Song dynasty. He purportedly possessed supernatural powers, which he used to help the poor and stand up to injustice. However, he was also known for his wild and eccentric behaviour, and for violating Buddhist monastic rules by consuming alcohol and meat.
