What is the meaning of yin and yang, dragons, the Phoenix and the Peaches of Immortality? Why is the lotus a symbol of Buddhism and a couple of mandarin ducks a wish for a happy marriage? What is the meaning of bamboo, pine and plum, the 'Three Friends of Cold Winter'? This publication reveals the secrets of the symbols of good luck and the visual imagery of Chinese decorative elements by means of around 90 masterpieces of Chinese porcelain, from the collection of the Keramiekmuseum Princessehof in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, spanning 1000 years.
