汉晋莲花主要装饰在中国南方的青铜摇钱树、佛兽镜,以及魂瓶等陶瓷器上,以六种形态出现。同时它们亦多装饰在佛像一侧,成为佛教艺术的一部分。由于早期佛像被误认为是西王母之类的神仙,因此,莲花在当时是被当作神灵对待的。 Han and Jin lotus mainly decorated in southern China bronze money tree, Buddha beast mirror, and soul bottles and other pottery, in six forms appear. At the same time, they are also mostly decorated on the side of the Buddha, becoming part of the art of Buddhism. Because early Buddha images were mistaken for the gods such as the Queen Mother of the West, the lotus was treated as a god at the time.
