                              Old Chinese Contrasts
                              Signs form an important part of animal communication and animal culture. See, for example WALKER 1983. Artifacts produced for symbolisation seem to be a privilege of the human mammal. An indispensible classic on this matter remains MORRIS 1946.

                              EBERHARD is predominantly concerned with natural symbols as well as the iconography in Chinese culture.
