The meaning behind this piece
Chun Si, or Spring Thoughts, is a literary theme drawn from classical Chinese poetry in which a spring scene stirs gentle longing and reflection. Here the figure's upward gaze and the moving leaves carry that contemplative, tender mood. It is an artistic and emotional subject rather than a lucky symbol.
Sizing and wear
At 78 x 42 mm and 102 g, this is a comfortable palm-sized piece that sits naturally in a cupped hand (about 3.1 x 1.7 inches).
Keeping this piece at its best
Wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth after handling, then dry with a clean cloth.

It is a poetic theme in which a spring landscape stirs tender reflection and longing, and here the seated lady looking skyward expresses that contemplative mood as a cultural association rather than a promise.
