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 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.
