EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Pa-Kua symbol" an ancient Chinese philosophical and spiritual emblem. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this color lithograph is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts three concentric circles, each representing different aspects of the Pa-Kua symbol. The outer circle features pictograms for the Eight Changes: water, mountain, thunder, wood, fire, earth, lake, and heaven. These symbols represent various elements of nature and their corresponding energies. Moving inward to the next circle reveals depictions of trigrams: second son, youngest son, eldest son (repeated), second daughter (repeated), mother (repeated), youngest daughter (repeated), and father. These trigrams are associated with family relationships and dynamics within Chinese culture. Finally, at the center of it all lies a representation of yin-yang - a fundamental concept in Taoism that signifies balance between opposing forces. This innermost circle serves as a reminder of harmony and interconnectedness. With its rich symbolism rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy and belief systems such as Taoism or Daoism; this print offers viewers a glimpse into an intriguing world filled with superstition and spirituality. It invites contemplation on themes like environmental consciousness while celebrating Asia's cultural heritage through its intricate characters and symbolic representations.
