The Lack of Chinese Symbolism: That's a Problem.

I have reached a grave observation that contemporary Chinese lack a rich reservoir of symbolism in which they can be proud of feeling connected with their rich past and glorious culture, in the same way that Japanese, Westerners, and Muslims do, all thanks so much to the great catastrophe of World Communist Conspiracy that coerced the Chinese today blindly embraced nothing other than that PRC para-communist five-star red flag as the Chinese national flag --a big-time mistake, with a general ignorance even to the underlining symbolism of that flag, to wit, an existential testimony of CCP dictatorship. ( Where the big star stands and stood for, something that any free thinking being simply cannot be reconciled with.)

The only other two most famous symbolism left to contemporary Chinese today is that Ying-yang symbol and the Chinese characters, something we indeed would feel proud of. Nevertheless, the former has a limitation with a Taoist religious association, granted an essential part of China, has already been taken onto the flag of South Korea, and generally demoted that rank of cliché and kitsch, the same destiny that we see Chinese characters have suffered likewise, among the bazaars, 99 cents markets, and everywhere on people’s flesh as tattoos of meaningless vulgarities.

In the above reckonings, I, as an artist by training, and a nationalist Chinese, will contribute to the revival of Chinese symbolism, in the hope that it would be restored back to its ancient Golden Age glory, in which icons and symbolisms assume a sacred meaning to people and command an equally powerful reverence from the people, such is the proper ideals of a Chinese conservatives, and such shall be the way of a future prosperous, free and confident Chinese federation. The subject of which is to be categorized as Chinese heraldry中国纹章学.

And I encourage all to contribute to the now almost dried-up reservoir of Chinese symbolism.
