Handscroll; Ink on silk; 420cm(width)*22cm(height) The painting depicts a procession of Daoist gods, with deities of the highest rank making their way to pay homage to the "primordial," or Dao. In the painting, celestial generals open the way, with the emperor wearing a halo among them. Numerous other gods and goddesses hold banners and umbrellas attending to the emperor, marching from right to left. Although there are numerous characters in the painting, it is not at all chaotic. Its lines are smooth and the clothing flows, fluttering in the wind as if the gods truly float on air. The figures are in high spirits, each with a different bearing and wearing different headgear and guards of honor, thoroughly expressing the majesty of the emperor, the might of the celestial generals, and the grace of the fairies.

Addressing the relationship between religion and ideology, and drawing on a range of literary, ritual, and visual sources, this book reconstructs the cultural discourse of Assyria from the third through the first millennium BCE. Ideology is delineated here as a subdiscourse of religion rather than as an independent category, anchoring it firmly within the religious world view. Tracing Assur's cultural interaction with the south on the one hand, and with the Syro-Anatolian horizon on the other, this volume articulates a "northern" cultural discourse that, even while interacting with southern Mesopotamian tradition, managed to maintain its own identity. It also follows the development of tropes and iconic images from the first city state of Uruk and their mouvance between myth, image, and royal inscription, historiography and myth, and myth and ritual, suggesting that, with the help of scholars, key royal figures were responsible for introducing new directions for the ideological discourse and for promoting new forms of historiography.

The ceremonial centers of the Syro-Hittite city-states (1200-700 BC) were lavishly decorated with large-scale, open-air figurative reliefs - an original and greatly influential artistic tradition. But why exactly did the production of such an array of monumental images ever start? This volume explores how Syro-Hittite monumental art was used as a powerful backdrop to important ritual events, and opens up a new perspective by situating monumental art in the context of public performances and civic spectacles of great emotional impact, such as processions, royal triumphs, and dynastic funerals.
