The Culture of Lotus

Lotus flowers have a long history in China, with cultivation dating back to the Yangshao culture. Over the centuries, the lotus has transcended botany to become a symbol of integrity, often referred to as a "gentleman" in literature. As a sacred symbol in Buddhism, the lotus is revered for its four virtues: subtlety, mystery, fragrance, and purity, serving as a symbol of peace and prosperity.
