Symbolism & Cultural Meaning

• Taiji (Yin-Yang): Traditional Chinese philosophy of complementary forces (yin and yang) and the constant interplay of opposites.
• Bagua (Eight Trigrams): The eight trigrams are based on I Ching (Book of Changes), and they are Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain and Lake. In traditional Chinese thinking they're utilized for pattern recognition of change.
• Peach Wood and Jujube Wood: Peach wood is used traditionally as a material for protection in Chinese folk medicine and jujube wood is used as a hardwood for carving. The cultural associations are a part of the pendant's inheritance and not a promise of protective effects.
