About this item

The Symbolism of the "Pink Ding Sheng" Pattern

The name "Ding Sheng" (定胜) is a homophone for "certain victory" (必定胜利). Its design inspiration comes from the "Dingsheng Cake" (定胜糕), a pastry made by the people of Suzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty to encourage General Han Shizhong and his army as they went to battle. The characters for "Ding Sheng" were carved onto the cake, symbolizing the hope for a triumphant start and ultimate victory.

• Pattern Structure: The motif is primarily based on the lozenge (diamond) shape, which is combined with floral patterns to form a compound lozenge design. The overall layout is even and symmetrical, with well-defined layers that create a dynamic feel.

• Cultural Connotation: The infinitely extendable nature of the lozenge motif symbolizes endless continuity and a prosperous life. The "Ding Sheng" element acts as a linking motif, reinforcing the themes of victory and auspiciousness.

• Application Scenarios: It is often used for celebratory occasions such as weddings, housewarmings, and academic pursuits (like examinations), conveying heartfelt wishes for joy, good fortune, promotion, and success.
