What are the characteristics of the pattern of the blue and white lotus jar?

Lotus tangle is one of the traditional Chinese decorative patterns. There are lotus, chrysanthemum, peony and so on. Those with lotus as the theme are called lotuses. With the introduction of Buddhism, lotus became popular on Chinese handicrafts. Lotus petals were very common on porcelain during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and became the iconic pattern of porcelain decoration during this period.

The characteristics of the lotus pattern: the flowers are painted up and down, and the branches and leaves are intertwined to form a pattern. The composition is complex but not chaotic. Because there are string patterns between each layer of decoration, the painted flowers are made of plant branches or vines. The skeleton, branches and leaves are intertwined with each other to form a four-way continuous or two-way continuous pattern. The unity is full of changes.
