How did the ancient Chinese perceive the world around them? How did they conceive of natural phenomena such as rain, lightning, or fire? What about the concepts behind terms for body parts: the hands, eyes, head, hair, or skin? What surprising objects gave rise to the colors red, blue, green, black and white, or to the directions north, south, east and west? Come and find out; you may start to look at things in a whole new way.
