Based on Lin Yuan's request, the top of the red sandalwood fish tank was made into a huge flower bed, which was carved with longevity mantras and all sorts of mountain and river scenery, every stone and wood carved vividly.
In the tank, a darker-colored jade-textured red sandalwood was carved into a strange pine tree. The trunk was like a young dragon, the branches were lofty, and the leaves were spirited. There were also pine cones at the top, signifying happiness and longevity.
The bottom of the tank was carved into eight cities, with cold water carvings. These eight cities arched over this strange pine, just like holding up a mountain peak.
Lin Yuan gently recited, "The cold water descends in the eight cities. The divine tree holding up the peak is young forever."
