CHINGReading the Chinese LettersThe character for Ching is comprised of the main radical Mi, which symbolizes uncooked rice. It also contains the radical Sheng, which holds the meanings of life and birth. Lastly, the radical Tan is employed, meaning the essence of life. The symbol for tan carries the idea of the hue of a plant just sprouting; the white, green, and yellow hues that first burst forth. This idea is equated with the essence of life itself and is thereby extended to that of elixir. | |||||||||
