Dogs in vast numbers appear playing with balls and spherical objects which serve them as charms.

Dragons seek their pearls, Ky-lins with sprays of fungus in their mouths lift their timid heads, and the gorgeous Fung-hwang lends its plumage to decorative effects.

Mythical personages are represented by their emblems, these being floral or otherwise according to the legends about them interpreted in design.

Things that symbolize ideas are meaningful as they stand related to prevalent beliefs and supersti­tions, and a single flower or emblem may at once suggest some historic sequence or the relation of one important event to another.
