Introductory Information About Asian Symbolism

By Steve Chung





The Chinese symbols had included all the characters, signs and alphabets which were used in China for thousands of years and reached a amazing number of eighty thousand approximately. Now of course the use of Chinese symbols has been greatly curtailed.



The utilization of the symbols in the Chinese language is becoming less and less as the language has evolved over the years. But in the art form these symbols have great value. They are very appealing to the eye and the whole world recognizes the beauty of these symbols.



In spite of the fact that the Chinese symbols are losing their practice there is enough proof in modern China to show that it is as important as ever in their everyday life. You will come across the symbols in the cityscape in form of architecture and art. In their daily life you will see the symbols in their common products like kitchenware etc. Also majority of the Chinese people use the traditional symbols for superstitious purpose.



Whatever may be the meaning the physical structure of the traditional symbols from China has special artistic appeal. But when you go to the depth of these symbols you will find that they represent great philosophies which go back in time and are still in use.



Once you start understanding the Chinese symbols you will find that they cover a large area starting from very positive to highly negative. The Chinese people believe that by using the positive symbols they can attract good things to happen to them. They are totally certain that the positive symbols can attract good fortune.



The legitimacy of this claim is subject to personal opinion and faith. For the Chinese the symbols hold great significance both in terms of their beautiful physical forms as well as their meaning and the consequences that incorporating these symbols into your life can have.



The traditional symbol of five bats linked together into one sign represents good fortune and is extremely popular. These five bats are taken to show love, longevity, health, wealth and virtue. To make the symbol more powerful it may be represented in red color.



You will find another symbol in many places in modern Chinese society which is the sunset symbol. Sun as Chinese see it is the origin of the Yang energy and has remarkable power.



There are number of ancient legends about the sun which leads the Chinese people to believe in its positive powers. For one it is the source of all energy and purification. Secondly it produces equilibrium. Because of these deep philosophical aspects sun is given great respect in China.
