"Chinese Auspicious Illustrations" serializes "Rui Beast, Scale Worm Chapter" - "Blessing in Front of You"

author:Qiushi said

Painted with bats and ancient money.

Take the homophony of "bat" and "blessing", "money" and "front". There is a hole in the middle of the copper coin, commonly known as the "eye". The word qianyan is reversed as "in front of you".

This pattern is mostly used in furniture utensils and architectural paintings.
