The Chinese character “瓶” (vase) and “平” (stable) share the same pronunciation in Chinese. Putting flowers in the vase will make the vase stable. Hence, this symbolizes peace. The blooming peony is a symbol of prosperity. “鏡”(mirror) stands for“境”(environment), and “盒” (box) stands for “合” (united). The furnace symbolizes “the passing on of the flame.” These clearly convey the ultimate goal of folk beliefs.
