Interlocking branch pattern is one of the Chinese traditional patterns, also called as” flower scrolls”, “longevity rattan”, with the auspicious meaning of forever green and incessancy. During Xuande Period, Zheng He went to the West for the seventh time and it was also the period of China’s closest connection with western countries through the Maritime Silk Road.
