We study the Faraday waves with liquid crystal MBBA and oleic acid. When we drive a disc of fluid on a shaker periodically, we find a series of symmetrically regular patterns of standing waves. The pattern variations with the viscosity of fluid, the depth of fluid and the size of the container are studied in this paper. It is noted that novel patterns of pentagon and heptagon are formed in some special parameters. In higher frequency region, patterns form in grid and ring with shorter wavelength of standing waves usually.
