Lotus refers to the flower heart of lotus, which contains many lotus seeds. Taking its homophonic meaning as "face", the ancients implied that children and grandchildren were full of children and daughters. Just like the lotus, it symbolizes holiness and purity. For example, the lotus seat of Guanyin, which we are familiar with, represents the spotless Buddhist world. If you use a pair of lotus flowers, it represents unity. In addition, lotus petals surround the lotus. Lotus is exquisite and beautiful, simple and heavy, which perfectly shows the combination of typical beauty and solemn beauty pursued by Buddhist statues.
