Koi Fish is a traditional auspicious animal that was originally quite popular in Asian countries. Carp has many symbolic meanings, because the pronunciation of “fish” is the same as “yu”, which means there will be a surplus. The pronunciation of “carp” is the same as “profit”, so carp is also used to symbolize income and profit in business. It is a tradition for Chinese people to have fish in their New Year’s Eve dinner, which also represents good luck for the family in the coming year. They hope that their business will be running smoothly in the year and they will be able to accumulate savings. Not only that, fish is also widely used to explain the theory of Feng Shui. It can attract wealth and blessings, and can also prevent and avoid disasters.
