Category:Fish on Chinese numismatic charms

English: Fish on Chinese numismatic charms symbolise Abundance, "more" (of whatever is represented by a symbol paired with it), fertility, happiness in marriage (paired fish). The Mandarin Chinese word for "fish" (魚, yú) sounds like the Mandarin Chinese word for "surplus" or "abundance" (余, yú). Because fish lay many eggs at the same time they are associated with fertility, and thus happy marriage.
