Hey ya'll,
I have a question about a chinese symbol that has grabbed my eyes since I was young: What is this sign all about, and what does it mean to me? It is a circular symbol with a particular symmetrical design in the center. I have often seen it used as the central design for chinese rugs. I can't really describe it, but I'm sure that a lot of people would recognize it if they saw it.
Yo Alexa....you might have a picture of the one I drew at your house....if you do, would you pretty please post it here so we can all have fun solving my riddle?
I look forward to hearing more about this. Thanks all ;]

Fri, June 29, 2007 - 9:10 AMHey Corey, Still i cannot fully understand what this Chinese symbol looks like~
often used as the central design for Chinese rugs...Er...a little confused...
I think i could explain it for you if I can see the picture of it!
Or, maybe you could go to www.foreignercn.com which is a website with a lot info about China.
There are a lot of more professional people in the forum there,,,,,,Hope you could find the answer!
