Westerners (and most Chinese as well) all think they know what the cultural symbols of China are. The Great Dragon and the Symbol of Yin-Yang, Right? What else could they be?
Well, they are actually wrong.
We know from the Bible that Satan took the form of a snake. The God-worshipping ancient Chinese during the Faithful Age seemed to be aware of this as well. If one examines China's most ancient classics, instead of the deviant books written in later ages, one finds that the ancient Chinese during the Faithful Age represented the Great Dragon as a symbol of great evil. The oldest Chinese legends refer to events that must have taken place before the Great Flood. Dragons were everywhere in China back then, according to this legend, and harassed the people greatly and caused much distress. The Chinese Dragon has the same shape as the snake, it is essentially a giant snake. So far from being China's primary cultural symbol, the Great Dragon is actually a Satanic curse upon the land of China. It is sad that the Chinese of later times mostly were not aware of this fact.
What about the Yin-Yang symbol? Again, examining China's ancient books, one finds that the symbol of Yin-Yang is indeed an important cultural symbol. But what does it actually mean? Modern people believe it represents the union of opposites, or even more specifically the sexual union between male and female. People of the "New Age" orientation sometimes use this symbol a lot and quite often interpret it in the sexual way. Apparently, sexual manuals have been written that are based on the "principle of Yin and Yang". Well, they are wrong again. The earliest Chinese books do not attribute sexual or gender-related meanings to the Yin-Yang symbol at all. The Yin-Yang symbol was originally meant to be a mystical and philosophical abstraction of the relationship between God and humans. The lighter half of the symbol, the "Yang" part, represents the Light, and the righteous God, the darker half of the symbol, the "Yin" part, represents the darkness, and the sinful humans. The small area of light within the darkness represents spiritual conscience, the only source of moral light that still exist in fallen humans. The small area of darkness within the light represents the fact that even though there is a great unpassable gulf between God and humans, God is not detached from us, for he knows and understands how we feel and can therefore empathise with our sinful nature even though God is the Completely Infinite Light. This is the true meaning of Yin-Yang. In a certain way it does suggest the philosophical idea of union between opposites. The Chinese wisdom within this symbol suggests the dialectical nature of the relationship between God and humans. On the one hand, God is infinitely separated and distant from humans due to human being's sinful nature, but on the other hand God is also infinitely close to us, for we are created in His image and He can empathise with us. Its purpose is to on the one hand remind people of this fundamental difference between the Light of God and the darkness of humans, so that humans can have humility and are humble before God, and do not become prideful or arrogant, and on the other hand to remember the closeness between ourselves and God and that He is not just sitting on a distant throne. The later ages, however, as China's spirituality declined and deviated from the true Godly Way, this noble spiritual symbol of ancient China was defiled, debased and transformed into a symbol of lust, of sexual union between man and woman. Sexual symbols are widely found in barbarian and pagan cultures. (e.g. they were abundant in pagan Europe, in the Greco-Roman world, and among non-Chinese Asiatic peoples) Our Chinese forefathers worshipped God and had no use for any of these symbols. But as China fell deeper and deeper into the spiritual abyss, lust became more and more abundant and this symbol was transformed into a sexual one.
