Chinese Beliefs:
Fish - In China, where life often revolves around food, seafood is king. No celebration is complete without fish, and in a country where business deals are cemented over banquets, nothing commands prestige like a table piled high with fresh crabs, oysters and fish. This obsession is even reflected in the language: the character meaning fish, yu, is closely associated with prosperity, because the sound for that character is identical to the sound for the character for surplus or plenty.
Butterfly - The Chinese animal symbol Butterfly represents love, specifically young love. Happily flitting from flower to flower – it signifies a happy social life for the young and young- at-heart. Chinese legend has it that the Butterfly symbolizes an undying bond between lovers. All romantics-at-heart would do well to place an image of a Butterfly in their home. A perfect gift for a new couple is this design embroidered on towels for the couple's home. Representative of the Yang energy, this symbol can energize you or a loved one, it reminds us of the energy of love.
