TianGan (Heavenly Stems) and DiZhi (Earthly Branches), commonly abbreviated to GanZhi, originated in the ancient Chinese cosmological sciences and is a complex calendrical system which was created to codify the patterns of life and of the universe itself. The ten symbols of Gan express the Yin or Yang perspective of Five Elements and embody the Way of Heaven. The 12 symbols of Zhi, made manifest in the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, hold the root of each Element and embrace the Way of Earth.Poetic summaries from the Song dynasty give the reader a deep understanding of the nature of each Stem and their relationship to each other. Offering an unprecedented insight into the subtleties and far-reaching influence of this ancient system, this book will be invaluable for the study or practice of Chinese medicine, FengShui, Chinese astrology, traditional Chinese cosmology, Qigong, Taiji, and other inner cultivation practices. A set of study cards (9781848191501), also published by Singing Dragon, are available to accompany this book.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 252mmItem Length: 178mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 620gAuthor: Zhongxian Wu, Karin Taylor WuContributor: Fei BingXun (Foreword by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
