As a birthday gift to the old lady, can I use the pattern of waves and cranes?
Yes. But it depends on whether the elderly like and understand what they mean. Many people have some misunderstandings about this picture.
Crane: means longevity.
Together with the pine tree, it means that the pine and crane will prolong life. Together with deer and phoenix trees, it means that cranes and deers share the same spring
In ancient times, the crane was "under one bird and above ten thousand birds", second only to the Phoenix as a "first-grade bird", and was the official uniform of first-grade officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The pattern is "Crane". At the same time, the crane is the leader of the Yu clan because of its immortal spirit. It has been called the "first-grade bird" since ancient times, which means the first. The first rank is the name of the highest official rank in ancient times. All civil and military officials below the emperor are divided into nine levels, with the first rank being the highest. The crane is also the most noble bird among birds, representing longevity and wealth. Legend has it that it has a lifespan of thousands of years. The crane is independent, looks up into the distance, has a graceful posture, is neither bright nor delicate in color, and is elegant and generous.
In Mongolian and Manchu languages, the sea means greatness and is used to symbolize the supreme ruler. The official uniform represents the court and imperial power, so the waves are also a symbol of imperial power
