Magpie and Persimmon

In Chinese culture, there are rich symbolic meanings, which are combined to form several idioms with beautiful implications.‌‌

Good things keep happening: Magpies symbolize auspiciousness and joy in Chinese culture, and their cheerful chirping brings a good mood to people. Persimmons, on the other hand, represent everything going well, and the ruddy fruits symbolize a bountiful harvest and family reunion. Therefore, the magpies perching on the branches and the persimmons embody the wish that everything in life can be fulfilled, full of joy and happiness.

'Everything goes well': Persimmon sounds the same as '事' in Chinese, so persimmon symbolizes everything going well in traditional Chinese culture, and red persimmons on the head mean everything goes smoothly.

Worldly Happiness: The combination of magpies and persimmons painted together symbolizes happiness and good luck in every generation and everything goes smoothly. It is a very festive and auspicious theme.

These idioms not only express people's yearning for a better life, but also embody the pursuit of auspicious and happy life in traditional Chinese culture.
