Chinese pay attention to “map will be interested in, Italy will be lucky”, it will rise even to the extent systematic.
For example, a Tang Dynasty, Gaido deer, three-foot silver dish is the first level of cultural relics in the Hebei Museum. This silver-driven type is huge, the workmanship is worried, and there is a lifelike plum flower deer. “Ganoderma deer and deer is a symbol of good fortune and Ganoderma are usually accompanied appears., Is accompanied by an enlightened ruler, Zhao appeared to be saints, Chi pattern deer pattern also represents auspicious prayer.”
