Posted January 24, 200025 yr Dear cecil,In the photo tour of interest in the murals pictures there is a red S shaped in the borders or surroundings of the pictures. What does it signify. I have seen it in paintings and also in some chinese greeting cards. Thanks.
Posted January 25, 200025 yr Staff Dear Anon,This S shaped border is common in Chinese architecture design or in Chinese restaurants.When I have the time, will post graphic images of quite alot of standard `auspicious' Chinese borders.Some of these borders have a significance, they are in an `eternal' loop i.e. there is no `break' in the pattern but if one follows the lines, it will continuously (be joined together). This implies eternity.Furthermore, the S shaped pattern is `rounded' and not pointed like a triangle which may cause Sha Qi or poison arrowsWarmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/24/00 12:39:15 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,In the photo tour of interestin the murals pictures thereis a red S shaped in theborders or surroundings of thepictures.
