Lotus · Integrity

Standing tall amid splendid scenery, blooming pure from muddy mud — the noble gentleman among flowers.

Step into an ethereal lotus sanctuary, stepping away from the hustle and bustle to embrace a peaceful haven.

Since ancient times, the lotus has carried auspicious connotations and been revered as a flower of purity. A pair of ancient lotus root fossils were unearthed in Xiepu Town, Zhenhai District. To revitalize the city’s cultural heritage, a brand-new cultural creation named Eternal Lotus Through Ten Thousand Years was developed based on these fossils.

The design centers on the lotus paired with deer relics excavated alongside the fossils. The leaping deer breathes new life into the lotus that slumbered for millennia. The natural texture of materials recreates the scene of "rising untainted from the mire" — simple yet refined, elegant without pretension. Delicate thin lines outline the composition, crafting a serene and leisurely artistic conception. It serves as both an incense burner and an ornamental art piece.

“蓮 - 廉” 

亭亭物華，出淤泥而不染，花中君子也

一場蓮芳秘境，游刃於喧囂之外，尋得一方寧靜。

自古以來，民間就賦予蓮以吉祥的寓意，視其為聖潔之花。鎮海區澥浦鎮曾出土一對古蓮藕化石，為了活化城市“文脈”，以此為原型，誕生了全新的文創產品——「壹蓮萬年」。

畫面上加入了同時出土的文物「鹿」，與「蓮」共為主體。以鹿騰躍的樣子，喚醒沈睡了萬年的蓮。用材質本身還原“出淤泥而不染”的場景，樸而不拙，雅而不作。細線勾勒畫面，營造清靜、悠然意境。是香器，更是賞器。
