Product information
Design and Artwork
The Chinese Tarot Deck, crafted by Jui Guoliang and Stuart R. Kaplan, is a beautiful fusion of traditional Chinese artwork and tarot symbolism. Artist Jui Guoliang's elegant ink and watercolor designs incorporate rich colors and clear visual storytelling. The deck reflects archetypal symbols from Ancient Chinese literature, legend, and philosophy, with Major Arcana cards featuring influential figures like Confucius, Kuan Yin, and Chang Tao Ling. The Minor Arcana cards continue this theme, drawing upon Chinese history to enrich their symbolism.
Symbolism and Themes
This tarot deck uniquely integrates Chinese cultural and historical elements into the traditional tarot framework. The inclusion of Chinese text on some cards adds an authentic touch, offering insights into the symbolism for those who can read the language. Some cards, such as Major XII Hanging Ghost and Major V Heavenly Master, provide distinct interpretations compared to their traditional Rider-Waite-Smith counterparts, inviting users to explore the richness of Chinese culture and its perspective on these archetypes.
User Experience
The deck's artwork is praised for its compelling and intricate design, encouraging users to engage deeply with the visuals. The glossy finish of the cards and their quality make for a pleasant tactile experience. The guidebook, while simple, offers valuable insights, especially for those looking to step outside the Rider-Waite-Smith interpretation system. Users have found the deck to be durable, easy to shuffle, and a favorite for its unique aesthetic and cultural depth.
