East Bottle and West Mirror is a Chinese vocabulary, which refers to the furnishings of a hall.
In the old days, the long desk in front of the living room was set with an exquisite "East Bottle and West Mirror", that is, a vase was placed in the east, a mirror was placed in the west, and a chime bell was placed in the middle, symbolizing that the bell (sound) was flat (bottle) and still (mirror). For the sake of coordination, a porcelain cap tube was often placed on each side of the chime bell.
When local men come home or go out to visit, they also take off their hats and put them on the hat tube, so as to show the elegant demeanor of a scholar ... These are also an important part of emblem culture and folk customs. The design of "East Bottle and West Mirror" is a reflection of Huizhou people's mentality, hoping that their families will go out for business and be safe and calm.
