Fish symbolize marital bliss since they often swim in pairs. In Chinese, the word “fish” sounds like the Chinese word for “abundance” (yu 餘), making fish one of the common symbols of wealth and prosperity.

Fish motif is one of the traditional Chinese symbolic auspicious motifs and ancient Chinese bronze decorations, the pattern is expressed in the form of a fish, with one or two spine fins and ventral fins, and the fish motifs are often decorated inside the porcelain dishs, reflecting that the decorations of the artefacts and the shapes of the artefacts are closely integrated.
