CHINESE ALLEGORIES
Allegory in common acknowledges as a figurative sentence or discourse, in which the principal subject is described by another subject resembling it in its properties and circumstances.
Chinese Allegories structures in a two-part allegorical sayings, which the first part, always stated, is descriptive, while the second part, often unstated, carries the message.
CHINESE RADICALS
A Chinese radical or indexing component is a graphical component of a Chinese character under which the character is traditionally listed in a Chinese dictionary.
CHINESE ZODIAC
The Chinese zodiac is called 生肖 or Shēngxiào in Mandarin. Identifying this scheme using the generic term "zodiac" reflects several superficial similarities to the Western zodiac: both have time cycles divided into 12 parts
Chinese zodiac is widely associated with a culture of ascribing a person's personality. In this project, I use graphic language to create an icon/logo system to seek for an opportunity to share my grown-up background and a small part of Chinese traditional culture.
