Painted and carved designs define the flooring of the rooms. The frame is decorated with auspicious symbols of good fortunate--bats, serenity symbols. The double fish motif is symbolic of marital happiness. Dragons, the ultimate cosmic and imperial symbol, chase a flaming pearl positioned at the top of the frame.
