RE: 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #82 - the absolute winner takes 200 SBD!

in #travel6 years ago

I took this photo in The Forbidden City (Beijing, China). You can see a split tree. This is done in order to show that the nature is to be used according to the human nature. Moreover the shape of the tree corresponds to the Chinese character rén 人, which means “man” or “human being”. This reflects that in the Chinese culture even the simple things as to plant a tree always has other meanings. On the other hand you can see that the dominant colour is red, which in the Chinese culture is associated with prosperity.
