What are the Chinese symbols?

The principle of categorization of traditional Chinese cultural symbols is based on the "source" or "body", not on the West.

Traditional Chinese cultural symbols are categorized into two main groups according to heaven, earth and human beings***, one is the natural symbols of heaven, earth and human beings, or natural symbols for short. One is the man-made symbols simulated by human beings after feeling the symbols of heaven and earth, referred to as man-made symbols (but not behind closed doors).

Natural symbols refer to those mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars that reflect the energy of heaven and earth, as if the God of heaven and earth as paper, gold, water, wood, fire and earth as the pen and ink of the grand symbols written. However, due to the mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars are arranged in different combinations, the time effect is different, so not all of nature, and every moment is favorable to human flourishing, and only the pioneers over the centuries such as the discovery of the ring of mountains, curved water, the Big Dipper, etc. with the cosmic helix field corresponds to the human advantage. These are "auspicious" symbols, yang symbols. On the other hand, Wolf's Tooth Mountain, Straight Water, and Wisdom Star, etc., which are harmful to human beings because they cannot collect the qi field of heaven and earth, belong to the "evil" talisman, the yin talisman. The former is known as "mountains surrounded by water must have gas", the latter was denounced as "mountains and rivers for the place of destruction", "straight straight to the loss of human life" and so on.

The man-made talisman is based on the holographic principle of the correspondence between man and heaven, through the practice of kung fu, the collection of cosmic gas and their own gas mixed with paper, pen, ink (or vermilion, andrographis and other traditional Chinese medicines) as an intermediate medium for the issuance of the outside of the body, stored in the talismanic shape consisting of a variety of curves and straight lines. The shape of the talisman corresponds to the natural talisman of heaven and earth, and the natural qi field of heaven and earth. In terms of size, it is like a peach kernel, the "micro-carving" technique of a grain of rice, and in terms of simulation, it is like "monosodium glutamate" and "saccharin". In short, it is a microcosm.

The natural and man-made symbols are closely related, in feng shui commonly used man-made gasification of the symbols to adjust those less than ideal field, called "exorcism" and often man-made entities of the symbols, such as imitation ring-shaped buildings to create a gathering of gas field. When writing man-made talismans, a good natural qi field is needed to guarantee the effect. The cross-application of these two types of symbols not only reflects the conformity, but also shows the enterprising spirit of transforming the status quo, indicating the positive attitude of the philosophers towards nature.

Of course, both natural and man-made talismans can be subdivided into two categories: qi and physical talismans.

Western semiotics is an emerging discipline. However, in China, it has not appeared as an independent subject, but is scattered in traditional Chinese culture, such as Chinese medicine, folklore, Taoism, martial arts, martial arts, qigong, supernormal capabilities, calligraphy, etc. Thus, the study and organization of Chinese semiotics is an important task. Thus, researching and organizing Chinese semiotics is a tedious and arduous project.
