Features: "The Five Favors of China - A Treasury of Auspicious Patterns," a collection of exquisite auspicious patterns passed down through generations and collected over decades by Mr. Huang Quanxin, is truly a feast for the eyes. It encompasses the elegance of the Ming Dynasty, the grandeur of the Qing Dynasty, the opulence of the imperial court, the refinement of scholars, and the simplicity of the folk. It includes the ruggedness of the northern regions as well as the gracefulness of the southern regions. Organized into five sections based on the "Five Favors of China" (Fú, Lù, Shòu, Xǐ, Cái), each section contains 119 auspicious patterns, totaling 595. It covers nearly all aspects of traditional Chinese auspicious patterns, with each illustration accompanied by research and interpretation, making the text and images complement each other perfectly.
