Ming yun

Part of a series on
Chinese folk religion
Stylisation of the 禄 lù or 子 zi grapheme, respectively meaning "prosperity", "furthering", "welfare" and "son", "offspring". 字 zì, meaning "word" and "symbol", is a cognate of 子 zi and represents a "son" enshrined under a "roof". The symbol is ultimately a representation of the north celestial pole (Běijí 北极) and its spinning constellations, and as such it is equivalent to the Eurasian symbol of the swastika, 卍 wàn.

Ming yun (Chinese: 命運) is a concept of the personal life and destiny in the Chinese folk religion.[1] Ming means 'life', 'right', or 'destiny', and yun means 'circumstance' or 'individual choice'. Mìng is given and influenced by Tian 'heaven', akin to the Mandate of Heaven of monarchs as identified by Mencius.[2] Ming yun is thus perceived as being both fixed, flexible, and open-ended.[3]
