5 . After turning over the December calendar, we will greet a new year. People will wear or place some specific items at this time, hoping to be healthy and lucky in the coming year. There are many objects and symbols that have beautiful implication all over the world. Do you know any about them? Read on.
Koi fish in China
Koi fish is known as the king of good luck in the water, which represents good luck in Feng Shui, and it is also known as “rich and noble”, because its color is like a peony (牡丹) in the water. Koi fish is regarded as a symbol of peace and friendship. Not only does it give people the enjoyment of beauty, but also implies joy, prosperity (繁荣) and happiness.
Acorns (橡子) in England
The oak tree is the national tree of England and symbolizes strength and endurance. The tree’s admirable reputation (名声) may explain why the Brits carried acorns for good luck and health. During the Norman Conquest, the British kept dry acorns in hope of escaping the cruel reality. In modern times, artificial acorns are used as jewelry and key chains to bring luck and wealth.
Scarabs in Egypt
Most people would be grossed out to wear a beetle around their neck, but in ancient Egypt, it was a way of life and believed to bring good luck. Kheper was the ancient Egyptian word for beetle and the meaning of it was “to exist”, so people wore scarab amulets (护身符) to protect them in this world.
Maneki-nekos in Japan
Do you know that smiling white porcelain (瓷制的) cat that waves at you when you walk into a Japanese restaurant or shop? It is called a Maneki-neko and is often displayed in the hope of bringing the business success and good luck. Each of the colors on the porcelain cat represents a different fortune: white means prosperity, gold means wealth, and black drives off evil spirits.
