Chinese symbolism
The Chinese symbol for the Year of the Snake embodies wisdom, elegance, and intuition – virtues highly esteemed in Chinese mythology. It signifies a period of personal growth, a journey of self-discovery, where intellect and patience are the keys to achieving success.
In Chinese culture, floral patterns represent renewal, growth, and prosperity. The colours red, orange, and yellow hold special significance. Red is known as the colour of celebration and good luck. Orange symbolises change and adventure, and yellow is associated with power and honour. Together, these colours are thought to bring good fortune and joy.
