What brings happiness in life? The Chinese believe that happiness is five-fold: wealth, luck, prosperity, double happiness, and longevity.
The coin symbolizes wealth, the gourd is luck, and the monkey represents prosperity. A pair of Mandarin ducks symbolize double happiness, or a harmonious love relationship. And the pine bough represents a long life.
Put it all together in a red bag (a lucky color in China) and you’re sure to increase your happiness.
Sold as a set of six in a red organza bag a card explaining each of the symbols is also included.
