The tortoise shell pattern, primarily composed of hexagons, is a repeating tessellation also known as the "spirit lock" or "lock pattern." In ancient times, characters were inscribed and burned onto tortoise shells and animal bones, and the resulting cracks were interpreted for divination. The tortoise shell pattern thus became associated with mystery and reverence, evolving into a symbol of good fortune. The ancient text "Shu Yi Ji" states, "A tortoise living five thousand years is called a divine tortoise. One living ten thousand years is called a spiritual tortoise." The "Records of the Grand Historian - Treatise on Divination by Tortoises" mentions, "Its lifespan obscures heaven and earth, its limit unknown." In the eyes of the ancients, the tortoise's longevity was astonishing, leading them to list the tortoise, dragon, phoenix, and qilin as the "Four Spirits," symbolizing auspiciousness and longevity.
