In ancient Greek mythology, the image of Themis, the goddess of law and justice, was usually that of a blindfolded goddess dressed in a white robe, wearing a golden crown, holding a scale in her left hand, holding a sword in her right hand, and leaning on a stick. A snake is wrapped around a stick, a dog sits at his feet, and a scepter, a number of books and a skeleton are placed on the desk. The white robe symbolizes that the Tao Fa is flawless and upright; blindfolded, because justice relies purely on reason and does not rely on misleading sensory impressions; The crown, because justice is incomparable, glory is the first; Scales, metaphors for discretion and fairness, in the face of justice everyone gets the value, no more, no less; Sword, indicating that the sanctions are severe and will not be tolerated; The bundle of rods, originally the symbol of the highest magistrate in ancient Rome, was the embodiment of authority and punishment; Snakes and dogs, representing hatred and friendship respectively, are not allowed to influence the referee.
Most conspicuously, she holds the balance of measurement rights in one hand and the sword prepared for the claim of rights in the other.
The sword without a balance is naked violence, and the balance without a sword shows the weakness of the Fa. #Reading # #正义 #
