Subverting the Sage

SUBVERTING THE SAGE

Last post I discussed #RU a word used in modern #Chinese to describe #sages and #scholars, particularly #Confucian ones. The word seems to have originally indicated some kind of weather diviner and the change of meaning to scholar means sense when you consider how oracle bone script was used for divination and so required specialists to inscribe the characters.

However the modern form oh yeah someone may say REN includes People in general but ...

Here's RU in its modern form

REN + XU which has YU over ER

Now the next image is my creation. There is currently to my knowledge no such character in Chinese, Japanese Korean or either form of SinoVietnamese. I wish there was so I did some cut and paste and created this.

I'll be making this available on various platform sand I'll also do some colored and textured versions to place on DeviantArt and Patreon.

I'll post the links soon.

Its raining in Sydney!

#technozi #sydney #hanzi #rain #typography

I had a technozi prepared based on a theme of summer heat so today its pouring rain instead! So I edited a old svg file of the rain / weather radical and tweaked it so hopefully it looks like its made of cloud and sky. Or suggests  that?

Given how heavy the rain is I probably should have used a gray gradient !

The svg was rendered and edited  from Kai Ti Font

I've been playing with the filters again. There's actually 3 combined in this one.
I 'm aiming for an effect suggesting someone printed or brushing ink onto a very rough piece of damp unsized paper.

Not just a TV program.

And this is just the typographic font forms ... then there's calligraphy ...

Qiu Noble

8 wine jars is a sign of respect?

A Paths and node experiment with hanzi

The altered version needs to be smoother but its close enuff to the seal script form to show my point? You can make new forms out of old ones?

This word caught my eye during a period of very cloudy dull overcast weather in Sydney. 

Happy New Year

As I live in Australia I have tried to incorporate the Rainbow Serpent into these two designs. This week and next I 'll be featuring snake signs.

May you have a fabulous year of the Snake!
