"Yijin" Handcrafted Underglaze Carved Floral Mug with Handle – 220ml

🎨 Design Concept & Symbolism

✨In ancient times mythology, Nüwa (goddess who created humanity) and Fuxi (cultural hero who taught civilization) are depicted as half-human, half-serpent figures. They symbolize wisdom, vitality, and harmony between heaven and earth.

🔶 The “Yijin” pattern incorporates three symbolic elements:

1️⃣ Central Motif – Nüwa & Fuxi
Inspired by ancient reliefs, the two intertwined figures hold a compass and a ruler — symbols of cosmic balance and order. (📐 Compass represents the heavens; 📏 Ruler symbolizes the earth and human order.)

2️⃣ Secondary Motif – Nature & Renewal
The design includes ⛰️ mountains, 🌊 flowing waters, and 🌿 foliage. The evergreen leaves stand for longevity, while the 🌅 rising sun represents vitality and new beginnings.

3️⃣ Calligraphic Symbol – “Yi (已)”
Two mirrored ancient Chinese characters form a decorative emblem, expressing the blessing: “Endless vitality, everlasting harmony, and the continuity of life.” ✨
