Chinese painting, what does it mean for a woman to suck milk for an old man?

What you should say is an oil painting. I have already answered this question in another question that Baidu knows, the oil painting background story of an old beggar sucking a lady's breast. Please refer to. /question/ 1 1 13363559234488699

Simon and Perot, also known as Roman Charity, 16 12, Flanders, Rubens, oil painting on canvas, 14 1x 180cm, in Amsterdam National Museum.

Rubens' famous painting "Simon and Perot", also known as "Cimon en Pero, Roman Charity or Carità Romana", hangs at the entrance of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Puerto Rico. In the picture, a young woman bares her breasts shamelessly, and an old man in disheveled clothes sucks her nipples. Most people who enter the museum for the first time will be surprised when they see this painting. Some people even ridiculed, satirized and questioned: How can such a painting be hung in front of the museum? But people in this country are in awe or moved to tears in front of this picture. Because the topless young woman is the old man's daughter-Perot, and the disheveled old man is her father Simon. Simon is a hero who fought for Puerto Rico's independence. He was imprisoned by the king and sentenced to "fasting". People starve to death slowly. Before she died, her daughter came to visit her father in prison with pregnancy. Seeing his father's thin body, he unbuttoned his clothes and nursed his father. This painting expresses the feelings of father and daughter and patriotism. People in this country are proud of this painting.

Roman woman Perot secretly fed her father Simon with her own milk when she visited the prison after learning that he was sentenced to starvation. Her behavior was discovered by a jailer, and the authorities were very moved when they learned it. Her father was released. This story is called a model of filial piety in Roman history. The ancient Roman historian Valerius Maximus recorded this story in his book Remembrance of the Romans. This touching story was later perfectly interpreted in Roman mythology, that is, Juno, the queen of God, breast-fed Hercules as an adult. In the 17 and 18 centuries, many famous European painters were keen to give full play to this theme, the most outstanding of which was Rubens' painting in 16 12.

Roman charity is a difficult painting theme to grasp. If it is not handled well, it will easily become vulgar pornography that hurts ethics. Breast-feeding for adults is not uncommon, and it has even become a trend in some Arab countries. During the war of liberation, there was a touching story of red sister-in-law in Yimeng Mountain area. In the 1960s, there was a film and television work based on this, which was handled implicitly, that is, milk was squeezed into a military kettle. Recently, there was a photographer Zheng Liu's live photography, which was very straightforward and seemed to be false and boring. In the sixties and seventies when nutrition was scarce, good wives and mothers often fed their seriously ill husbands with milk. But this story adds another layer of ethical relationship between father and daughter, which is not easy to accept.
