The 10,000 Things (TAOArt)

The “Daodejing” describes the process of creating the world at the beginning of time in the famous four steps 1,2, 3, and then the 10,000 [Things]. The Myriad Things themselves now show a wild order in the form of some graphically organized “Charts of the 10,000 things” (purportedly found near Mawangdui) – each chart in “Cloud script” being a kind of “cosmic type case to use”. – Supposedly there is nothing between heaven and earth/in space and in us, which could not be found/understood when reading/looking at these charts.
