Elks are characterized by long and big antlers. Elks shed their antlers and then grow new ones. Many people regard the featureof elks as the ideas of the resurrection. The pattern of antlers is painted on the wall built a burial ground. Then it helps the dead to be reborn. There were afew elks in China. That's why the pattern of antlers are regarded as the cloud.
