These stone mats are ideal for outdoor dining. They're so practical because they don't get blown away by the wind and you can leave them out all year round. The Chinese are incredibly skilled at assigning deeper meanings to various symbols to represent a condition or energy. A long, healthy and prosperous life is one of the most admirable and highest goals of humanity. Bon apetit (or whatever the Chinese equivalent is!)
