Cover von Vivien Sung: Five-Fold Happiness (ePUB)

In engaging text and beautiful illustration, this volume explores the five-fold symbols of happiness: luck, prosperity, longevity, happiness, and wealth. Surround yourself with lucky objects, the Chinese believe, and good fortune will come to you. In Five-Fold Happiness, Vivien Sung takes readers on a delightful and enlightening journey through this age-old concept. Drenched in color and lavishly illustrated from ancient and modern sources, it interweaves both Chinese and English text. Peaches, the number eight, the imperial color of gold, a cat with one paw beckoning, or the dragon dance—here are some of the familiar images now revealed in their rich significance. Whether readers choose to embrace these symbols in their everyday lives or simply enjoy them on these glorious pages, Five-Fold Happiness is altogether auspicious.
