Goldfish in chinese character is 金鱼, which has similar pronunciation to 金玉满堂 (wealth and abundance). The character 莲 for lotus has similar pronunciation to character 连 meaning “in succession or one after another”, as in expressing year after year. So the fish, together with the lotus would imply wealth and abundance year after year. In Chinese culture, a lotus symbolises beauty, longevity and holiness. It is therefore one of the most favourite flowers among Chinese.
