Features: One year, I bought a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase at Panjiayuan Flea Market. I placed it at home and looked at it every day, pondering: What is depicted on it? Everyone, look, it's this picture: There are three halberds at the top, the Xiangtian Huaji used by Lü Bu in his play with Diaochan. Below is a stone chime. What is a chime? It's a musical instrument made of an inverted triangular stone. Do, re, mi, fa—traditionally called Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu. Below is a bottle, and below that is a small wooden table called a case. I looked at it every day. Suddenly one day, I deciphered it—it contains a code. What is it? Look, from top to bottom, it represents "Good Fortune and Peace" (Halberd-Chime-Vase-Table). The common people's greatest desire is peace, and the primary pursuit in life is first and foremost good fortune and peace. Our nation, from ancient times to the present, has regarded peace as the essence of life.
