Message 麟吐玉書 Lù tŭ yùshū Unicorn spits out a Jade Book This traditional Chinese auspicious pattern is composed of a qilin (Chinese unicorn), eight treasures, and a pearl. It is said that a qilin descended to earth at the birth of Confucius, spitting out a jade book at his door. This symbolizes the birth of a sage and signifies flourishing literary fortune. It also indicates the addition of a new member to the family. With regards, I.Nagy Post a Response |
