Koi Fish & Lotus

In Chinese culture, the koi fish is also a symbol of perseverance, prosperity, and good luck. Fish are also associated with abundance because the Chinese word for fish, yú (鱼), is homonymous with the word yú (余), which means surplus or remaining abundance. The lotus, on the other hand, is a symbol of purity, renewal, and resilience. These motifs convey the desire for plenty, growth and a tranquil life.

Ruyi & Hundred Blessings

Ruyi is a traditional auspicious symbol that symbolizes wishes being granted. The Hundred Blessings motif (百福) represents the hope for many blessings, happiness and good fortune. These elements combined form a meaningful design based on traditional Chinese decorative symbolism.
