In Chinese culture, bat motifs represent the five blessings: health, long life, prosperity, love of virtue, and a tranquilh. This popular bat motif often was embroidered on expensive clothing to imply that a person’s prosperity had resulted from a virtuous lifestyle. The Chinese word for bat is “fu,” and the word for happiness also is pronounced “fu.” Two bats sketched on the wrapping of a gift convey best wishes and good fortune.
