The long and short horizontal strokes on the outer wall of the incense burner are Daoist symbols–the eight trigrams for divining the future. The lotus is popularly known as “Buddhism flower”. Lotus petals were popular motifs for decoration in Buddhist culture. These decoration motifs on the incense burner reflect people’s religious believes at that time.
