This is a symbol of China's Ming Imperium: a dynastic emblem derived from a Buddhist design depicting the interweaving of karma - the ceaseless succession of cause and effect - and rebirth. It is an endless knot, indicating that the cycle of birth-death-rebirth is as ceaseless as the karma that intertwines it. It is found on Chinese dynastic art, furniture, pottery, and fabric and carpets. An identical design is also found in Celtic Symbolism. Endless knots tend to be in every culture at every time. |
