• Heavenly Grandeur: Situated at the top of a building, it symbolizes the sky or the cosmos and expresses reverence for heaven and earth.
• Auspiciousness: It often features geometric forms, floral elements, and cloud motifs, conveying blessings of good fortune, peace, and happiness.
• Rank and Authority: In antiquity, use of the motif was tied to architectural hierarchy; it appeared mainly in palaces, temples, and other important buildings, symbolizing power and prestige.
• Cultural Heritage: Integrating carving, painting, and other arts, the motif reflects the profound depth of traditional Chinese culture.
