The Godly Beast Arrives,
Bringing Prosperity
The Forbidden City, renowned for its ancient architecture, houses the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony, the largest of its kind. This iconic hall is adorned with sacred animals, each embodying auspicious qualities, such as the lion, symbolizing courage and strength. Chow Tai Seng Jewelry Classic Collection draws inspiration from these revered creatures, seamlessly incorporating their imagery into its designs. Each creation is imbued with blessings and profound symbolic meaning, celebrating tradition and heritage.
Cultural Significance
The ridge beasts' arrangement and quantity reflect the hierarchical status of the buildings. For example, the Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿), the most significant structure in the Forbidden City, features the highest number of ridge beasts (10 in total). These beasts embody traditional values such as reverence for nature, authority, justice, and auspiciousness.
