In ancient Chinese folklore, the lingzhi fungus is associated with auspiciousness and immortality. It is a promising omen of stability, peace, and success. Bamboo stems and rocks both signify literati’s meritorious conduct and nobility of character. The large dish exhibited here is decorated in light cobalt blue. Black speckles are found where the blue pigment aggregates. The subject matter of the decoration is presented simple yet clear.
