"Bo"is a white silk fabric,on which the ancient people often painted.Through the silk painting,we can explore the ancient people's cognition and pursuit of the universe.The T-shaped silk painting unearthed from the No.1 Han Tomb in Ma-wangdui,Changsha in 1972,was divided into three parts:upper,middle and lower,with the divine dragon connecting heaven,earth and hell.In the heaven part of the silk painting,there appears the coexistence of Yang Wu and a toad which represent the sun and the moon shining together.The ideological origin behind this phenomenon is mainly the view of"the unity of heaven and man",the theological view of divination,the view of Yin and Yang and the five elements.The images of Yang Wu and a toad are the humanistic products of the social thought of Han Dynasty.They appear together as the symbol of sun and moon,and contain the concept of life and death of the universe which leads the soul to heaven and the harmony of Yin and Yang.
