Description
Chinese pictograms are much more than mere letters or words. In Chinese thought, the act of writing a character is seen parallel to the process of creation. Every single stroke is rich with meaning and each complete character reflects the centuries-old history of Chinese civilisation. In this volume, Arria examines over 40 characters: characters that are earth based and reveal the wisdom of Chinese culture.
