What is the meaning of the auspicious pattern of five bats holding peaches circulated in ancient tradition?

Introduction: "Five Blessingg, one said longevity, two said wealth, three said corning, four said friendship and virtue, five said life test". "Virtue" means "virtue", and "testing life" has a good ending. Therefore, painting five bats around the longevity word or peach means more happiness and longevity. Bat's bat is homophonic with the word "fu", so it is represented by five bats. Five bats often surround the word "longevity", and the custom says that "Five Blessingg has longevity". It is a traditional auspicious pattern widely circulated among the people.

Bats are not birds or mice, but flying mammals, which are traditional small animals in China. People use the symbols of "bat" and "happiness", regard the stone-carved bat as a symbol of a happy life, and symbolize the arrival of the embossed bat as the beginning of "entering happiness", hoping that happiness will fall from the sky like a bat.
