Description

The Inspiration: Ancient Windows, Timeless Beauty

Historical Heritage This collection is inspired by the Chongfu Temple in Shuozhou, Shanxi—a masterpiece established in 665 AD. As one of the three most complete Liao and Jin dynasty structures remaining in China, its architectural grandeur is legendary. Fans of the acclaimed game Black Myth: Wukong will recognize it as a breathtaking filming location for "Lesser Thunderclap Temple" in Chapter 3.

The Pinnacle of Art The Amitabha Hall within the temple houses the "Five Wonders of the Jin Dynasty." Its centerpiece, the "Six-Intersections with Twelve-Bowls" (Liu Jiao Shi Er Wan) lattice window, is the most complex ancient window pattern in existence. Its craftsmanship surpasses even the "Triple-Intersections" patterns of the Forbidden City. Once a symbol of supreme status, these lattices represent the height of ancient Chinese aesthetic pursuit.

Symbolism & Design Interpretation

The interlocking rhombic patterns capture the rhythm of time and space, echoing the Buddhist philosophies of the "Six Realms" and "Twelve Nidanas." Woven into the design are sacred motifs:

• The Vajra (Dorje): A symbol of protection and spiritual power, believed to shatter delusions and guard the soul.

• The Bat: A homophone for "Good Fortune" (Fu) in Chinese, signifying endless prosperity and a life blessed with happiness.

By blending orderly architectural beauty with auspicious symbols, this series brings the warmth of traditional blessings into the palm of your hand.
