"Liuhe" refers to the "four directions of heaven and earth" (heaven and earth and east, west, north and south), and also refers to the world in general. "Six in One Spring" means spring scenery on earth, and everything is thriving. Folk use homophonic techniques to take the sound of "land" with "deer"; "Crane" takes the sound of "crane". The meaning of "spring" takes flowers, pine trees, Chinese toon trees and so on. These images are combined to form an auspicious pattern of "six in one spring".

In addition, cranes symbolize longevity and deer symbolize happiness. In ancient times, deer and cranes often appeared in paintings, sculptures, porcelain and furniture. People take this opportunity to express their yearning for a happy life, which embodies the theme of "deer and crane in the same spring".
