Symbolism
Crane
The graceful crane is a common emblem in paintings. The five birds: crane, phoenix, mandarin duck, heron and wagtail represent the five Confucian relationships; in this case the crane stands for the key deference of son to father. Two cranes flying towards the sun represent ambition. A crane among clouds represent nobility; a pair of cranes represent a wish for long married life while a crane in pine trees a wish for a long life together.
Emblem of rank: Civil Official 1st rank.
The Eight Trigrams (Pa Kua). The eight diagrams symbolize the eight natural phenomena: sky, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and lake. Through combinations of three broken or unbroken horizontal lines they could be made to symbolize aspects of the universe. Their earliest use as decoration on ceramics dates from the late Song period.
