What does this symbol mean? How did you get here?

"Wan" is a symbol of auspiciousness, which is called auspicious sea clouds or auspicious happiness.

Origin: The "swastika" pattern did not originate from Buddhism, but existed in India before Buddhism appeared. In India, this symbol is called the swastika, which consists of two characters: Su (auspicious) and Azzati (you), and it is a symbol of auspiciousness.

In addition, it is also found outside India. These places include China, Russian, Japanese, Egyptian, Crete, Scandinavia, Scotland, Ireland, America, the two river basins and other places. There are both left-handed swallows and right-handed swallows found in various places.

Take China as an example. Before Buddhism was introduced into Neolithic sites such as Gansu, Qinghai, Guangdong and Inner Mongolia, the swastika pattern used by the Nazi Party was discovered.

Extended data

The discovery of "Yan" is quite common, and it is unlikely to spread from a certain place, so scholars guess that it must be related to something as important and common as human beings. Some people speculate that the shape of the castle is convenient for defense, while others speculate that it represents the direction of the sun's movement.

As for party emblem, the Nazi Party in modern Germany, that is, the National Socialist Party, because the German prefixes "the country" and "the Socialist Party" are both S, so the two S are staggered into a swastika shape. Hitler thought that the swastika used by the Nazi Party symbolized the victorious mission of Aryans, so it was used as the Nazi Party's party emblem in 1920. However, this has nothing to do with the above Buddhist intentions.

After Buddhism was introduced to China, the word "Wan Zi" was also introduced to China. However, how to translate this symbol? Both Xuanzang and Bodhi Six Fingers are translated into "Wan" when translating the Ten Classics, which means the perfection of all virtues.

Later, Wu Zetian simply separated the sound and meaning of this symbol and decided to read "Wan", which means "a collection of auspicious virtues". As for who is right-handed, Master Huilin in Tang Dynasty wrote all the classics, sounds and meanings, and decided that the word "swastika" was right-handed, because most of the words "swastika" in China Buddhist scriptures were right-handed.

However, even in modern times, whether the word is left-handed or right-handed is still very inconsistent. For example, Ci Hai writes "Ai" and Ci Yuan writes "Ai".
