Posted By: rat Mon, Dec 29, 2014 It's a wish for long life and many children (sons, actually). The picture would have been given to someone as a birthday present. The pine is primarily a symbol of longevity in China, and suits the inscribed message here. Pines are also associated with enduring adversity. |
