Explanation:

As Lucy Chang has recently purchased a lovely ceramic bowl that featured a red dragon design. When she thought about her purchase, she found that she really had no justification for buying the bowl other than it reminded her of the bowls her mother used during evening meals when she was a young child in Hong Kong. Nostalgic attachment best explains the reason for Lucy's purchase of the dragon bowl. It is the attachment of an individual with some person or something tangible or intangible which is being aroused by seeing or feeling another object, product or person. That object, product or person serves as a link towards that past thing or object. For example, you had a best friend at your school who used to eat three ice-creams in a row, when you see another person doing the same thing, you might can start missing your old school friends or this incident can make you remind your old school friend, same is the case which has been happened in this case when Lucy purchased a lovely ceramic bowl featured red dragon design which she had no intention to buy at all but it gave her nostalgic attachment to the bowl which her mother used during evening meals when she was child.
