The symbolism of bat kites

The bat kite symbolizes a happy marriage and harmony between husband and wife, and there are mandarin ducks pattern kites and so on.

And the bat harmonizes with "all blessings" and "all richness", although its image is not beautiful, but after sufficient beautification, it is used as an auspicious pattern to symbolize "blessings" when making kites.

The kite is a symbol of good fortune.

With a long history, kites have always been integrated into traditional Chinese culture, and under the influence of it, this kind of auspicious symbolism can be seen everywhere in traditional Chinese kites: "Fortune and longevity", "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness", "Hundred Butterflies in Spring", "Carp Jumping Dragon Gate", "Ma Gu Xian Shou", "Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix", "Fish for many years", "Four seasons of peace", etc. These kites all show people's desire and longing for a better life.
