Excerpt from Meeting the Sun: A Journey All Round the World Through Egypt, China, Japan, and California, the Marriage Ceremonies of the Emperor of China The binding of this book may perhaps be the better for a slight explanation. Yellow is the Imperial colour in China, and Red the Nuptial. As the marriage was called, in official language, The Union of the Dragon and the tuix, these mythic figures are given from Chinese forms of art. An empty circle represents in Chinese symbolism Hun-yuan, or Chaos; but when the Yin-yang are added, we have the dual powers, from which Cosmos was evolved. The design contains this, and sur rounding it is the pah-im'ah, or the Eight Diagrams. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
