Is it "East Screen West Mirror" or "East Bottle West Mirror"?

East bottle and west mirror are Chinese words, which refer to the furnishings of the hall.

In the old days, the long table in front of the living room was set with "East Bottle and West Mirror", that is, a vase in the east, a mirror in the west and a chime in the middle, symbolizing that the clock (sound) was flat (bottle) and static (mirror). For coordination, a porcelain cap is often placed on both sides of the chime.

Some local men also take off their hats and put them on the hat tube when they go home or go out for a visit to show their elegance? These are also important parts of Hui culture and folk customs. The design of "East Bottle and West Mirror" is a reflection of Huizhou people's mentality, hoping that their families will go out for business and be safe.

At the Shanghai World Expo, the bronze sculpture "East Bottle and West Mirror" of Anhui Pavilion was produced by Tongling Jiuding Sculpture Company. Originality comes from the tradition of "placing bottles in the east and mirrors in the west" in the living room furniture of ancient Huizhou, that is, the homonym of "Dongping is quiet in the west", which means that it is safe to go in and out of the house. According to reports, the "East Bottle and West Mirror" exhibit is in the "Impression Anhui" exhibition area, with two windows.

Ai Xinsheng said: "It should be said that the Anhui Pavilion has its own characteristics among the joint pavilions of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China, mainly reflected in the use of modern exhibition means.
