Lotus pattern element

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the lotus pattern was often used as the theme decoration of porcelain. The outer wall or inner wall of bowls, lamps, bowls and plates are lined with lotus flowers, and some plates are decorated with Penglai patterns, which look like blooming lotus flowers. See also the shape of lotus carving, such as the lotus statue in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the lotus lamp holder in the Five Dynasties. Song dynasty began to become an auxiliary decoration. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were many changes in the patterns of lotus flowers, such as tangled branches and lotus flowers, which were often combined with animal patterns, such as waterfowl and fish swimming in the lotus pond.
