About this item

The “Peacock Bringing Treasures” Pattern

This motif is primarily composed of two core elements:

• The Peacock
• The Treasures (often represented by peonies, magnolias, and other flowers, or ancient coins, precious vases, etc.).

Symbolism of the Peacock:

• Auspiciousness and Prosperity: The peacock, known as the “king of a hundred birds,” is admired for its splendid plumage, especially when it fans its tail. In Chinese culture, it has long been regarded as a symbol of beauty, nobility, and good fortune. Like the mythical phoenix, it is viewed as an auspicious bird embodying blessings and happiness.
• Bright Prospects: The eye-shaped markings on its tail feathers are considered “eyes,” symbolizing wisdom and a promising future. Thus, the “Peacock Bringing Treasures” motif conveys smooth career development and hopeful prospects.
• Power and Status: In ancient times, peacock feathers were used as official ornaments (“hua ling”) on hats, serving as distinctions of rank. Consequently, the peacock also represents authority, social identity, and high status.

Symbolism of the “Treasures”:

• Peony: The most common “treasure,” known as the “king of flowers.” It signifies wealth, prosperity, and flourishing success. The pairing of the peacock and peony symbolizes the union of good fortune with high status, expressing the ultimate blessings of “prosperity and auspiciousness” or “a splendid future.”
• Magnolia, Begonia, and Others: Sometimes the design incorporates flowers such as magnolia, symbolizing purity and nobility, or begonia, symbolizing a joyous and flourishing household. Together, they convey meanings such as “magnificent halls and wealth.”
• Other Treasures: In some variations, treasures may appear as coral, ancient coins, vases, paintings, or scrolls—always centering around the theme of wealth, splendor, and preciousness.
