EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Taoist symbol in the shape of an arrow, adorned with trigrams from the ancient Chinese text known as the I-Ching. Dating back to the Han Dynasty, which reigned from 206 BC to 220 AD, this symbol represents a profound connection between heaven and earth. The PI trigram signifies heaven while Tsung represents earth, both embodying the essence of Taoism. The Han Dynasty holds immense significance in Chinese history as it was the second imperial dynasty that ruled over China for four centuries. This period witnessed great advancements in literature, arts, and sciences. The arrow-shaped symbol beautifully captures this era's spiritual beliefs and cultural heritage. The intricate inscriptions on this decorative piece are derived from the Book of Changes or I-Ching—a revered text that explores divination and philosophy within Taoism. Its presence adds depth to this artwork by intertwining spirituality with astrology. Photographed by CM Dixon during the 20th century, this image transports us back in time to appreciate China's rich religious traditions and artistic expressions. It serves as a reminder of how symbols can transcend boundaries and connect us with our ancestors' wisdom.
