Traditional paper-cut big fish flower

Implication and symbolism are the most important artistic features of folk art, and many patterns in folk paper-cutting express auspicious and beautiful symbolic meanings in homophonic and symbolic ways. For example, the combination of lotus and fish symbolizes "more than one year, more than one year"; Five bats hold flat peaches, symbolizing "Five Blessingg holds longevity"; Pomegranate, grape or fish means "many children and grandchildren"; Peony means "wealth" and so on.
