The Market Train

This illustration depicts the bustling scene of a large-scale plant sale outside a subway station, seamlessly blending numerous classic literary and mythological characters to create a fantastical atmosphere. In the scene, the “Green Plant Market” sign stands out prominently, with Spring Festival couplets like “Safe Passage” posted at the entrance, exuding a traditional festive atmosphere. The crowd is bustling with people carrying green plants and holding flowers, some selecting items, others chatting and socializing. Upon closer inspection, familiar figures can be spotted: Sun Wukong, wearing his magic headband, darts playfully through the crowd; Zhu Bajie, carrying his rake, is adorably clumsy; Tang Sanzang, dressed in his monk's robe, remains calm and composed; and mythological figures like Bai Niangzi and Xu Xian also appear, together creating a unique blend of ancient and modern elements.
