In the late Tang Dynasty, peonies became a symbol of people's nostalgia, representing the glory of the former Tang Dynasty.

For example, the pattern of the round nest pattern was composed of individual decorative patterns into a circle, and then organized into a continuous pattern according to the rules. The peony petals in the center showed a multi-layered performance from the inside to the outside, and the outer petals and peony leaves intertwined with each other. Most of them were mainly six petals, which had the characteristics of perfection and realism. - ** Techniques and Forms of Performance **: Techniques of performance include engraving, printing, painting, etc. The patterns were in the form of flowers, standing trees, twining branches, broken branches, etc. For example, the twining peony pattern inherited the rules of the twining pattern, forming a tight and regular two-sided continuous or four-sided continuous pattern, which increased the natural interest with the rhythmic undulation of the neat circle, the different angles of the flowers, and the different flipping of the petals and leaves.
