A Chinese emblem of Li T’ieh-kuai, the second
of the Eight Immortals. Like the hour-glass, twin drums, St. Andrew’s cross or the
letter X, it is a symbol of the link between the two worlds—the upper and the
lower—and of the principle of inversion regulating the ordered pattern of events
of cosmic phenomena, that is, night and day, life and death, infamy and sublimity,
sorrow and joy. Li T’ieh-kuai was, in effect, a mythic figure whose essential
characteristic was his ability to leave his body and visit heaven. He was also
symbolized by a column of smoke (5). But this symbol of the twin pumpkin is
very far from being limited to the Far East; it was also common in the West.
Among other representations, the frontispiece of Book II of Maier’s work on
alchemy, Symbola Aureae Mensae (1617) shows us the twin pumpkin in the form
of two amphorae, with the top one up-ended. The surprising thing is that this
image also incorporates the above-mentioned symbol of the column of smoke
joining the interior of the lower amphora with the upper; in this case there is not
just a single column, but a ring of smoke circulating between the mouths of the
two amphorae.
