Randy Jesus Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) The circle represents: Heaven and Earth - Self Completion - No Start and No Finish.The Petals represent: Longevity and Prosperity.It is often used as a background to Okinawan family crests, mitsudomo [sic]. Okinawa, Ryu Kyu Islands were heavily influenced by China during the Japanese take over. Several Karate styles / cultures were brought back from Chinese Kung (Gung) Fu. in order to defend themselves. Later on a Communist Revolution (Which I believe was the Peoples Republic of China) took over China and the Chinese government fled to the place we now Call Taiwan, which they believe that still believe is China. The Fake Communist government took over and forced their way on to the UN security Council as one of the permanent 5 members due to the fact that they had control of large amounts of Nuclear weapons. The former Government/Taiwan is waiting until the day when a Revolution occurs and that both China's (Taiwan Considers its self the rightfully Named China) can converge under a true representative democracy. The Album name Chinese Democracy still will carry the weight that it would have ten years ago because nothing has changed regarding the situation.
