The Chinese believe that happiness is five-fold: -
Wealth - the coin, the circle representing heaven and the internal square signifies the earth.
Luck - the gourd, a symbol for good luck believed to ward off evil spirits.
Prosperity- the monkey, especially success on one's chosen career.
A pair of mandarin ducks - they mate for life and represent double happiness and the desire for a happy and harmonious relationship.
The Pine Tree - known for its hardiness and to signify a long life.
