Document source description
Moso (Ch. Meng Zong [Meng Tsung]) was a 3rd-century Chinese paragon of filial virtue. He is wearing a straw hat and a straw coat. Over his right shoulder is a hoe and in his left hand is a bamboo shoot. Moso's mother wanted to eat bamboo shoots in the middle of the winter. They usually grow in the spring, but he went looking for them anyway. Miraculously, he found fresh bamboo shoots growing under the snow.
