imron Posted December 14, 2006 at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 at 12:17 AM It seems to me just to be someone's stylistic drawing of a setting sun. Personally I don't think the image itself has anything that is particularly Chinese about it. This website seems to think the image is the: Chinese Sunset SymbolThe sun is the most potent symbol and source of Yang energy. It purifies and energizes at the same time. Also a symbol of balance, the legend states that there were originally ten suns, making the world too hot. The Divine Archer Yi had to kill nine of the suns to restore cosmic balance and harmony. But I can't say I've ever seen this image before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted December 14, 2006 at 03:28 AM Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 at 03:28 AM That's comic. It's not a Chinese sunset symbol, it's a sunset picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmck Posted December 14, 2006 at 11:25 AM Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 at 11:25 AM The image is meaningless, it is simply a doodle that someone has made and then invented a story to do with it in an attempt to get people to part with their money.

Kiwijes Posted December 14, 2006 at 07:22 PM Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 at 07:22 PM The top bit in red looks like a Maori Koru (Maori are native New Zealanders to the uneducated...) I cant see anything "asian" about it, but it is a pretty picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
