Xi Wang Mu is known as the Queen Mother of the West. Her palace is in the Khun-lun Mountain where she protects the herb of immortality. She is widely known for serving peaches to her guests, which would make them immortal. She normally wears a distinctive headdress made up of the Peaches of Immortality and is sometimes depicted with wings and serpent's tails for feet.

There are many stories about Xi Wang Mu. This image addresses the story about Qin Shi Huang Di, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He united the warring states of China through brilliant military strategy and diplomacy to control the greatest territory ever yet seen in China. He also had the workers join pre-existing sections of wall to create the Great Wall of China.

The story goes that Qin Shi Huang Di had the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother of the West and attain greatness from her. However, instead of using this greatness for good, he squandered it and therefore died and was not able to obtain the Mandate of Heaven, nor establish a dynasty.

The ninth century poet Zhunag Nanjie wrote of Qin’s misadventure: "His flourishing breath once departed, he never more will speak; His white bones buried deep, the evening mountains turn cyan."
