CHINESE SYMBOLISM: The Sublime Language
Pictograms, through which earliest mankind endeavoured to communicate, achieved their richest profusion in China, and gave rise to the world’s most complex - and, many would argue, most artistic - written language.
Symbolism still lies at the core of China’s ancient heritage, in which certain animals and inanimate objects have long been regarded as directly linked with particular human conditions.
This concise volume surveys some of the best recognised examples - not least of which are the dozen animal signs that comprise the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
