"The Gods Encouraging the People to Kill Pigs and Goats (Christians and their disciples)" is a Chinese propaganda artwork created by an anonymous artist in 1890. This piece is part of a broader series of polemical works that emerged during a period of intense anti-foreign sentiment in China, reflecting the socio-political tensions and xenophobic attitudes prevalent at the time. The artwork serves as a visual representation of the animosity directed towards Christians and their followers, who were often derogatorily referred to as "pigs" and "goats" by their detractors.

The illustration is believed to have been produced in the context of the growing influence of Western powers in China and the concurrent spread of Christianity, which was seen by many as a threat to traditional Chinese values and social order. The title itself suggests divine endorsement of the violent actions against these groups, implying that the gods of traditional Chinese religion were in support of the eradication of foreign religious influences.

While the exact details of the artwork, such as its medium, dimensions, and original context of display, remain obscure due to the anonymity of the artist and the passage of time, the piece is nonetheless significant for its historical value. It provides insight into the cultural and religious conflicts of late 19th-century China, particularly during the lead-up to the Boxer Rebellion, a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian uprising that occurred at the turn of the 20th century.

As an artifact of propaganda, "The Gods Encouraging the People to Kill Pigs and Goats" is an example of how art can be employed to sway public opinion and incite action. It stands as a testament to the power of imagery in shaping political narratives and the role of art in reflecting the complexities of historical events.
