Meaning and Significance of Pictures




The other night, Shifu and I were discussing ideas for logo design.
I mentioned snakes and cranes, as I had thought from my classes, what I was seeing was a combination of snake characteristics, and the movements of a crane flapping its wings.
Shifu grinned, and he said, no, and he laughed. Instead, he drew the yin yang symbol.

Ok, I thought, so I said, "relative opposites, ying and yang? Right?"

He said, "actually, it's two fish!"

Aha!
I always wondered how that symbol came to be. Apparently the dot is the eye... No, Shifu didn't say that, THAT is My presumption.
