LING


#Contemporary Dance
Year: 2023


‘Ling’ (靈): Derived from oracle bone script, (雨) rain from above, in the middle is (口) mouth, Shaman(巫) down below. The Shaman's persistent prayer for rain, with ‘Ling’ can also extend to refer to sacred spirits.
靈 Ling:从甲骨文演变而来,上部(雨),中部(口),下部(巫),表示巫师念念不停地祈祷下雨;靈字也引申指神灵。
