Introduction to Auspicious Culture

Fortune is to the Chinese what water is to fish, what the sky is to birds, and what air is to people. Lucky, according to the literal interpretation, is "auspicious" and "peaceful". As the ancient saying goes, "Auspiciousness is a blessing and good fortune; auspiciousness is a sign of good fortune". The Shuowen says: "Ji, goodness"; "Xiang, fortune". To put it plainly, auspiciousness is a good omen, that is, everything is smooth, as expected, and beautiful. Therefore, throughout the ages, no one is not the pursuit of good luck. Auspiciousness and avoidance of harm, all people have this heart. And auspicious symbols, auspicious objects, auspicious patterns are created by mankind to convey the props of the heart.
