As a gift to the living Buddha in Tibet, this Yongle sword has a strong religious style, and its pattern is a classic auspicious beast in Buddhism: Joan. Joan: This is a Buddhist animal, also called a lion. The lion in Indian art can be regarded as the mythical snow lion in Tibetan art and culture. This white snow lion with turquoise mane is a fierce demon in charge of the snow-capped mountains in Tibet.
Just as Buddhism "jumps" over the Himalayas from India, people can only see the majestic appearance of the snow lion when it jumps playfully from one mountain to another. Snow is an animal symbol in Tibet, which is decorated on the official seals, coins, banknotes and stamps of local government agencies. On Thangka, the double lions are often humorously painted on the top of the snow-capped mountains. Like deer and double cranes, it also constitutes a harmonious theme. But sometimes the lion is painted as a kitten rolling hydrangeas. There is a legend in Chinese mainland that a lioness's milk comes from the tip of her claws. When the lion plays with a ball with holes, it will dip some milk in the ball. In Tibetan art, the ball has three colors of "happy rotation" shape.
As a famous sword in history, this Yongle sword has also been imitated. Longquan, the sword capital of China, has high requirements for the replica of this sword.

The appearance is exactly the same, and the material is high-end, which can be called a collection of fine products.
