Tian is a Chinese ideogram that can mean either sky or nature, in the broad sense of the term, i.e. the entire universe. This is a concept that is almost foreign to the Western mentality that is aimed at more and more frenetic and self-enclosed actions. By now, to pause "in contemplation" is impossible and almost inconvenient. Everything is heading more and more downhill. Man moves between the sky and the earth (Tian and Ti) and takes part in both, even if he keeps on pretending not to notice.
