Cang Jie (倉頡) aka The Master of Chinese Culture, in Chinese we address him as Zhong Hua Wen Zu (中華文祖) - meaning the one who started the Culture of Writing, etc.
In Chinese History, there's no much records on him, but from certain contexts, we can find out that actually Cang Jie exist far before Huang Di - Yellow Emperor (黃帝) exist.
So what he's famous for?
He's the first person to create all the Chinese Characters/Words for writing (倉頡造字).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to his credit in creating all the characters, people pay respect to him as a form of respect.
PS: The 4 or 6 eyes represent the power of creating characters or words.

ReplyDeleteThe pic with the double pair of eyes reminds me of the the Tai Sui group of 60, one of them has same double pair la. Any connection?
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha, dear bro, no connection between them, they are of different era.
