The Eight Buddhist Emblems (bajixiang) are a set of traditional symbols that represent the offerings made by the gods to Buddha upon his enlightenment. The symbols include the parasol, the golden fish, the conch shell, the endless knot, the lotus flower, the victory banner, the Dharma wheel, and the treasure vase. Each symbol has its own significance and is used in various contexts, such as in religious rituals, on prayer flags, and in artwork. Together, these symbols are believed to bring good fortune, prosperity, and happiness to those who use or encounter them.
