“Three don’ts” 
Three half-squatting stone moneys take on a vertical form, cute and funny. The first one puts its hands over ears-hear nothing, a second one covers its eyes-see nothing, and the third one muffles its mouth-say nothing, vividly exhibiting the philosophy of life----“Three don’ts”, a sense of prudence, restraint and aloofness.
As cited in The Analects “not to look at things, listen to things, say things nor do things which do not conform to the rites”, this maxim of “Three don’ts” is meant to teach people of later generations the importance of cultivating moral character and the philosophy of life.
These three interesting stone monkeys can be seen everywhere in the Elite Spring Villas, where you feel free to let go of mundane routines and cultivate your mind.
The Incense-burning Ritual
Incense burning ritual is a sublimation out of life tastes. The lost incense burning ritual more than two hundred years ago has now thrived again in the 21 century and it is the treasured legacy of Chinese national culture that other cultures don’t share. The ritual began in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty, declined in the late Qing Dynasty, and then almost disappeared from the Republic of China to Cultural Revolution.
Scented incense, pleasant to noses, helps to cultivate mind and body and cure ailment. People have an innate preference for incense.
Incense arouses our spiritual being in an euphoric manner, and it plays a versatile role in regulating our breath and achieving a harmonious state of body and mind.
Sandalwood is best favored in Elite Spring Villas, and peculiar censers made by employees snugly match the culture of the villa.
