Jan Wirgin, in Sung Ceramic Design, London,
1979, pp. 179-81, discusses the origin of the boys
among floral scrolls motif, citing the influence
of Indian cave art and the Buddhist motif of the
reborn souls on lotus flowers from the Tang
period. By the Song dynasty, when the design
was immensely popular on wares in various
materials such as silver, bronze, textile and jade,
and at different ceramic kilns including Yaozhou
and Ding, it is clear that it had become a popular
motif suggesting fertility and abundance.
