Ching K'o's attempt to assassinate the King of Ch'in.. Stone relief from the Wu Liang Tomb, Shantung (cAD 150) Ching K'o on the left, with outstretched arms and hair standing on end with fury, has been siezed by another man (perhaps the doctor, Hsia Wu-chu). He has just hurled his dagger at the King of Ch'in so fiercely that its tassel flies out almost horizontally and it completely pierces an intervening pillar. To the right stands the King of Ch'in (the later First Emperor of Ch'in), holding aloft a jade disk as insignia of authority. Part of his sleeve, torn off in the struggle, lies on the floor. Below the pillar is the box containing the head of General Fan Yu-ch'i. Ch'in Wu-yang, Ching K'o's assistant, lies terror stricken on the floor. A soldier with sword and shield rushes in from the far right
