Key Facts About Asian Symbol Meanings

By Steve Chung


The Chinese symbols had incorporated 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 use 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 highly appealing to the eye and the whole world recognizes the beauty of these symbols.

When we take a look at China itself we see the existence of Chinese symbols in all walks of life. The cityscape is loaded with Chinese symbols represented through different mediums of art and architecture. Today you will be able to find Chinese symbols on everyday products such as kitchen ware etc. Many people still make use of traditional Chinese symbols for superstitious reasons in Chinese culture.

Whatever may be the meaning the physical formation of the traditional symbols from China has exceptional 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 know 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 absolutely certain that the positive symbols can attract good fortune.

The legitimacy of this claim is subject to personal belief 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 grouped together into one sign express 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.

Supposed to energize as well as purify the symbol of the sun is highly respected in Chinese culture due to the profound meaning that it has for them. The same symbol is also meant to represent balance which has been derived from an ancient Chinese legend.
