Let’s talk about the meaning of common ancient furniture patterns.

Ancient Chinese furniture often used some plant and animal patterns as decoration, such as pine, bamboo, plum, peach, pomegranate, orange, lotus, orchid, magnolia, peony, rose, ganoderma, etc. Gourds and animals include dragons, phoenixes, birds, magpies, bats, lions, elephants, deer, etc. The selection of these patterns not only expresses the good wishes of longevity and good luck, but also contains people's expectations for prosperity and wealth.

Bamboo, known as a gentleman, is neither hard nor soft, and does not wither despite the frost and snow. In addition to forming the "three friends of several colds" with pine and plum, it also forms the "five auspicious pictures" with pine, xuan, orchid and longevity stone.

Peach, often called fairy peach or longevity peach, means longevity. It is often combined with bats to form "many blessings and longevity", or with bats and double coins to form "good fortune and longevity", which is a common pattern.

The magpie is a legendary happy bird. It is used together with ancient coins to mean "joy before your eyes" and "joy on the brows." The ribbon bird symbolizes longevity because ribbon is a homophonic word for longevity. Used together with plum and bamboo, it means birds coming to the king.

Bat, because bat and longevity peaches are homophonic, the bat has become a symbol of blessing. Five longevity peaches are often used together, which means "five blessings hold longevity". Multiple bats and longevity peaches mean "many blessings and longevity". Bats and ancient coins mean "blessings are before your eyes". Bats, longevity peaches and two ancient coins combine to achieve double longevity.

The lion is the king of beasts. Double lions and hydrangeas are often used together to show good luck.

Elephants are characterized by suppleness and serenity, and the pattern of elephants carrying vases symbolizes "peace and peace with elephants"

Deer is a long-lived fairy animal, and is often used to express wishes and wishes for longevity.

Pine is as long as a hundred trees, does not wither in the frost, remains green in winter and summer, and often forms patterns with bamboo and plum blossoms. Pine is also a symbol of longevity. It forms a pattern with cypress or chrysanthemum, which means "pine and cypress spring together" and "pine and chrysanthemum prolong life".
