The tradition of flowerpot replica is one of the oldest traditions in China. The earliest records show that it dates back to the Warring States period (475-221BC).
People in ancient times believed that living plants could bring good luck, and they would often plant flowers around their homes to bring good fortune.
In the Tang Dynasty (618-907), people started to make clay flowerpots and put them on their window sills or outside their doors. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), people started to use these clay pots for planting flowers.
