Description

Chinese Tarot Card Deck
Jui Guoliang's pretty Chinese Tarot deck uses traditional Asian artwork with vibrant colors and delicate illustrations in the style of Rider-Waite to capture the charm and mystery of ancient China vintage 1989.
Rendered in the rich style of traditional Chinese artwork, the vibrant colors and clear messages of The Chinese Tarot Deck offer an aesthetic and accessible tarot experience. Jui Guoliang has created elegant ink and watercolor designs that skillfully blend archetypal symbols of Ancient Chinese literature, legend, philosophy, and culture. The Major Arcana draws upon the benevolent wisdom and insight of inspirational figures such as Confucius, Kuan Yin, and Chang Tao Ling, the Heavenly Master.The fully pictorial Minor Arcana are equally endowed with the lessons of Chinese history. The booklet by Stuart R Kaplan offers a description of each card’s symbolism, with both upright and reversed meanings.
The complete 78-card Tarot pack is divided into two sections: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards. The Major Arcana are allegorical cards and are also known as the Triumphs, the Greater Arcana, the Higher Arcana and the Atouts.
The Minor Arcana are divided into four suits: swords, staves, cups, and coins. In each suit, are four court cards: King, Queen, Knight and Page; and ten numbered cards. Today’s ordinary playing cards descend from the Minor Arcana of the Tarot. The knight and page were combined to form the jack of the 52-card deck and swords became Spades; Staves, Clubs; Cups, Hearts and Coins, Diamonds.
Transliteration of Chinese to English spelling varies according to source, and was reformed in the early 1980s. For example, the city name of Beijing was formerly spelled Peking. The spelling used here for Chinese names is that most commonly found in published sources, the transliteration used before the reform.
