Calligraphy Brush:
An implement for writing in ancient China.  In a time when not everyone was literate, this was an important primary tool for scholars, and those seeking high government imperial positions ensuring a life of steady income and prestige.

Use for smooth communication, clarity in thought, to exceed in studies, and other intellectual or creative endeavors.  The belief that "the pen is mightier than the sword" exists because it is by skillful communication and critical thought, we can begin to remake our world as we like.

The brush represents intellectual achievement and success in creative endeavors.

The Lotus grows in mud yet rises far above it to bloom with beauty.  A symbol of purity and spirituality, the lotus shows us that although we are mired and exist in the mud, conflicts, and upset feelings of this world, we can rise above it to live in peace, harmony, and happiness.

Use for knowledge, calm, and spiritual power.  Lotus seeds are also quite plentiful symbolizing abundance.
