Therefore, the combination of fish and lotus is also particularly popular in jade carving creation. Today we will talk about the meaning of fish and lotus in jade carvings.

In fact, most people know the meaning of fish and lotus in jade carvings. It uses the Chinese people’s favorite homophonic method. Fish is homophonic to “yu” (surplus), and lotus is homophonic to “lian” (connected). So together they mean “lian (lotus) nian you yu (fish)”. Having surplus year after year is the Chinese people's desire and hope for a better life. During the Spring Festival every year, it is popular for every Chinese household to eat fish. It can be said that no banquet is complete without fish. This is to ask for a good start of "abundance every year" and "surplus year after year". People hope that they can have plenty of food and wealth every year. This artistic expression of worldly aspirations through the natural fun of fish playing among lotus leaves brings endless joy and abundance to the owner.

In the minds of Chinese people, the lotus not only represents purity and elegance, but is also regarded as a sacred flower in Buddhism. Therefore, when the lotus leaves stretch out, the dew drops roll, and the fish swim, it can bring infinite blessings and luck to people, attract wealth and fortune, and ward off disasters and avoid misfortunes.
