Taegeuk Seven – Chill Jang
The Chinese character ‘kan,’ expressing Taegeuk seven symbolises the mountain – meaning ponderosity and firmness. A mountain is seemingly permanent and unmovable, yet they are constantly growing and changing. Humans seek to emulate these characteristics, moving forward and remaining still are both necessary when we want to achieve something.
