Why are there eight lotus flowers on Bao Lianhua's hand cup?

Eight lotus flowers represent peace in all directions.

1, Emperor Yongle praised the concept of governing the country as an honest official. At that time, there was a lotus pattern on the porcelain of the official kiln, while the lotus pattern on the Yongle blue-and-white hand-pressed cup was a lotus pattern with tangled branches. Eight lotus flowers were painted in foreign currency, representing peace in all directions and different shapes.

2. The appearance of hand-pressed cups is actually to meet people's demand for tea. The reason why it was designed to fit the hand was to meet the needs of the emperor at that time.
