A Qing-dynasty vase with pine and deer design from the Guangxu Emperor's reign (1875-1908) on display at the Beijing Art Museum in Wanshou Temple, June 19, 2025. The main panel of the vase depicts symbols of longevity: two deer beneath an ancient pine tree, surrounded by nandina branches, lingzhi mushrooms, and a pair of ribbon-tailed birds. The composition symbolizes wishes for a long life and prosperity, combining the visual elements of "shou" (longevity) and "lu" (official success). [Photo by Liu Ziying/China.org.cn]
