- Production Technology
- We take the triangle in the star-shaped element to refer to the star. The triangle is the basic figure of the geometric pattern, and the equilateral triangle is the most stable structure. There are a lot of classic applications in architecture. The equilateral triangle becomes the core image embryo of the cloud mirror. Extended by the imagery of stars, the nebula, the twenty-eight constellations and the most well-known Big Dipper among them have become important carriers for constructing the cloud mirror narrative scene. The Big Dipper is a star official belonging to Ziwei Enclosure. In traditional Chinese culture, the Big Dipper is the maker of the order of the world and the center of all things in the world.
- Inspiration
- For the deceased, it is a spiritual continuation of the good life before death, and for the living, it is the common wish of most people to use this to bless their descendants. The cemetery has become an important carrier connecting the emotions of the living and the dead, it’s not only a place for the dead, but a spiritual sanctuary for the living.
