Chinese Semiotics

A lesson in Chinese Semiotics, brought to you by the National Center for the Performing Arts, Beijing:

From left to right, top to bottom:

1. No wolves
2. No kites
3. No platform roller blades (although regular ones are subject to consideration)
4. No amputees playing with spherical objects
5. No littering
6. No cars
7. No sitting on ping-pong tables (while cross-legged)
8. No bicycles
9. No pointing at small flowers
10. No trumpets
11. No bicycles with bike racks (in case you thought you thought you were exempt from #8)
12. No exploding Christmas trees
13. No camp fires
14. No Chinese characters*

*This is actually the character shòu, which means "to sell"
