Bo-gu Pillar Wall Panel
Flower Vase: The word "vase' reads 'ping,' and sounds like the word 'ping-an' meaning "safe and sound." Shown with the flowers of the four seasons, it implies "safe and sound all the year."
Pomegranate: A pomegranate has many seeds to symbolize many children, because both the Chinese characters "seed and sons" are pronounced the same as 'zi.'
Ru-yi: A wand, a Ru-yi, literally, "as you wish," is one of the "8 Treasures" -a duster, a gourd, a rhino horn seal, a jade cup, a string of beads, a vase, a scroll of Buddhism Sutra, and a sword, always with flowers and vases. This work uses several flowers and a Ru-yi to go with a pomegranate to imply "safe and sound as you wish" and "many seeds, many children."
