Chinese Tarot Deck The Chinese Tarot is the work of Chinese artist Jui Guoliang who painted these elegant images in 1989 using ink and watercolor. The theme of this deck is the legends, customs, myths, symbols and religion of China. For example, the Hierophant is Chang Tao Ling, the Heavenly Master, who was the first great teacher of Taoism. The Yin Yang symbol is pictured on the Wheel of Fortune. These correspondences are described briefly in the instruction booklet written by Stuart Kaplan. Titles for the cards are printed in both English and Chinese. The minor arcana suits are staves, swords, cups and coins.
