5.0 out of 5 stars A Deck of Pure Beauty 7 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Format:Cards
I collect Tarot cards as art, and this is the most lyrically beautiful deck I have ever seen. Guoliang's renditions of Tarot symbolism in Chinese traditional style literally brought tears to my eyes. I have them framed and on my library wall. I would recommend this deck as a visual feast if nothing more.

3.0 out of 5 stars A museum piece, yes, but a reading tool it is not. 9 July 2002
By JPH - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Cards
This is probably the most beautiful tarot in my collection. Jiu's expert implementation of flowing vibrant colors, fine lines and subtle shading resulted in 78 breathtaking mini-paintings. His women are exquisitely fine-boned and willowy, the men debonair and gallant, and the sceneries ---- absolutely evocative. If you gaze at these beautifully scenic cards long enough, you'll want to leap into them and be part of the action!

The down-side is that 75% of these 78 cards do not conform with their traditional Tarot assignations. The worst culprits are the pips - total chaos... It seemed Stuart Kaplan forgot to give Jiu basic lessons on Tarot symbology (or a reference Rider-Waite deck) when he commissioned him. However, the alluring nature of the artwork is such that it has you thinking that you underpaid when you bought this "tarot" deck!

You will learn Chinese history will these cards too. It explains what each card is. Who the person on each card is, what is important with the person ect. The artwork is outstanding... if you like the Asian style... you'll love these cards.
