Vinegar tasters
The Vinegar Tasters (三酸圖; 'three sours'; 嘗醋翁; 'vinegar-tasting old men'; 嘗醋圖, 尝醋图) is a traditional subject in Chinese painting, which later spread to other East Asian countries. The allegorical image represents three elderly men tasting vinegar. The identity of the three men varies. Chinese versions often interpret the three men to be Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, and a monk named Foyin. Other variations depict the three men to the founders of China's major religious and philosophical traditions: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
