"Chán Gong Zhé Guì" (Pink) Means Toad Palace and Laurel Blossom is a traditional Chinese pattern that symbolizes success in the imperial examinations and a smooth official career. Specifically: 

Chán Gong: Refers to the Moon Palace. According to legend, a toad resides in the Moon Palace; therefore, "Chán Gong" symbolizes the moon.

Zhé Guì: Literally means "plucking osmanthus." Since the imperial examinations were held in autumn, coinciding with the blooming of osmanthus, "plucking osmanthus" is used as a metaphor for success in these examinations.

Combined, "Chán Gong Zhé Guì" expresses the beautiful wish that students achieve outstanding results in the imperial examinations and enjoy a smooth path in their official careers. This pattern is commonly seen in ancient architecture, artifacts, and clothing, reflecting the ancient pursuit of academic and official success.
