They remain an abundant heritage of arts and are widely used in palace, tomb, residence, garden, furniture, tableware, clothing, etc. The figures not only show the remarkable Chinese genius in art, but also turn people's fear and adoration for the animals into the concepts of warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune. 　　 The motifs of the stamps are Mandarin Duck, Chinese Unicorn, Deer, Crane, Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Linnet and Black Tortoise.
