Mawangdui Ancient Cosmos Playing Cards
The design of this Duan Dan playing card set draws inspiration from the T-shaped silk painting unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb—a magnificent masterpiece that embodies the mysterious cosmogony and philosophy of life of the Western Han Dynasty. The card faces meticulously reproduce the fantastical patterns found in the silk painting, distilling celestial deities, the myriad phenomena of the mortal world, and scenes from the underworld into the confined space of each card. As you play Dian Dan, ancient imaginings and aspirations quietly emerge, and an ancient civilisation is woven into this game at your fingertips in a light-hearted and approachable manner. This deck is both a uniquely crafted cultural gift and a fascinating window into Han civilisation, ensuring that every card played becomes a delightful encounter with millennia of wisdom.
