Myths and Man - Symbols - Book shu
Myths and Man - Symbols - Book shu In western culture the wood book may take its meaning from the wood beech. Some historian etymologist believe that the woor book is cognate to "beech". Writings have been found on beech wood and that the word beech could have been derived from Old English and Germanic words. In the western world book symbolizes learning, libraries, teaching, and authorship. The saying, "book worm" symbolizes an intellectual. Much like in the western culture book shu is one of the eight symbols for scholar. To be a scholar was was held in high regard until Mao's Red Rebellion where 'scholar' took on the meaning of 'enemy of the state.' Until recently on the day of a child's first birthday a book, money, silver, a tortoise and a banana where symbols place in reach of the child. The symbol the child reached for gave the parents and grandparents and indication as to the future and career the child should best seek. Recently, a friend said they were putting out a golf club and a tennis racket as additional symbols for their son to help determine the son's destiny. Certain book have always been influencer's of Chinese thought. Of these the Confucian 'five classics' and 'four books' are the most noted. The 'Tao Te Ching' and 'The Art of War' are two books westerners might recognize. This is a series of informations on Myths and Man - Symbols it is a collection of myths and symbols I have been collecting and researching since 1968 when I first did a paper on 'Myth and Modern Day Man.' In 1968 I had an opportunity to speak with Arthur C. Clarke, who had written the short story that lead to the screenplay '2001: A Space Odyssey.' We discussed the myths of man and how myths would change man after 2001. I believe Myths and Metaphors are what moves civilization forward. jGibney (Never Published) Nature is Beautiful;
