A Deer of Nine Colors (Chinese: 九色鹿; pinyin: Jiǔ Sè Lù) is a story based on the Buddhish Jataka tale.
The Deer King was known as RuRu in the 2nd century BCE in the Bharhut region of India, was one of the benevolent birds and beasts that the Buddha reincarnated in his previous life to do good deeds.
The "Deer King Jataka painting" is the main theme of the fresco in the 257th cave of the Mogao Grottoes, which was created in the Northern Wei dynasty.
The Jataka story refers to the many deeds experienced by the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, before his death.
The horse is advancing with elegance, showing the nobility of the royals, and the shape of the carriage is also very delicate and unique.
Then the deer saves a party of traveling merchants who have lost their way by magically moving the mountains to make a clear path for them.
Meanwhile, a man who sells medicinal spells and cures for snakebite is gathering herbs and falls into a lake.
However, the vain queen of the land has also heard of the nine-colored deer and begins to pout and sulk, demanding a coat made from its fur.
The warriors all stand ashamed as the deer berates the potion merchant for his unfaithfulness and greed, and birds fly around him striking the man with pecks until he sinks into the lake.
