Size: 435 cm*31 cm Silk One full side of weaving Baoxianghua 宝相花 Whether it is flowers, birds, insects, fish, or birds and animals in the world, we can find many unique patterns in traditional Chinese patterns. Among the patterns with flowers and plants as elements, you can find not only luxurious peonies, elegant hibiscus, lovely camellias, but also an extremely personalized flower pattern - Baoxianghua. Baoxiang flower is an ideal flower shape that is holy, dignified and beautiful, while Baoxiang pattern is an artistic treatment of deforming the flower heads of natural flowers. To put it simply, Baoxianghua is not a real flower. It is an imaginary combination with lotus, peony, chrysanthemum, pomegranate, rose or sunflower or even snowflake as the main shape, and then decorated with other flowers and leaves. It reveals a radial structure extending outward from the center, forming a circular flower pattern. Each Baoxiang pattern is similar but different. It can be used as an independent pattern, or it can be combined with the entwined branch pattern to form the entangled branch Baoxianghua. It can also be combined with the curly grass pattern. Even though Baoxianghua outlines a flower, it does not specifically refer to a simple flower shape. It is a pattern that has been refined through art. It is an existence like a dragon and a phoenix in traditional Chinese culture, and is not really in reality.
