The the Eight Diagrams hanging is an ingenious
handmade craft made by a chinese folk artist,including Yin
Yang diagram and 12 absolutely hand embroidered animals by
a deft folk artist: Rat-Ox-Tiger-Rabbit-Dragon-Snake-Horse-Goat-
Monkey-Rooster-Dog-Pig.
The Eight Diagrams symbolize the eight natural
phenomena: sky, eath, thunder, wind, water,fire, mountain and
lake.
The Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used
for dating the years. They represent a cyclical concept of time.A
cultural sidelight of the animal signs in Chinese folklore is
that horoscopes have developed around the animal signs, much
like monthly horoscopes in the West have been developed for
the different moon signs, Pisces, Aries, etc.
The design is symmetry and very pretty for wall
decor.
