From ancient architecture to everyday life; from myths and legends
to historic places of natural beauty; from priceless artefacts to
annual festivals and ceremonies; from performing arts to famous
people, China has a myriad of iconic symbols that make up an
historic and significant civilisation whose longevity rivals any in
the west. Chinese symbols have a much more pervasive and
complicated role than one might think at first sight: their study
reveals not just their individual meanings, but also offers insight
into divergent Chinese patterns of thought and cosmic views.
Chinese Symbols provides an introduction to this immensely complex
and fascinating subject. The book seeks to open a door to this
world, where for many Chinese symbolic language is a second tier of
communication, frequently richer in nuances of meaning than
everyday speech and writing.
