The tiger—symbol of fortitude and fearlessness. The Chinese characters Hu Hu Sheng Feng, or “tigers roaring, winds rising,”are homophones where “luck” and “tiger,” “winds” and “abundance,” correspond and blend. This confluence of meaning raises expectations of great achievements and good luck, and inspires a spirit of energy, proactivity, and of defying hardship and difficulty. This medal is especially valuable for being produced using hologram technology. |

A“ru-yi”is a traditional Chinese art object, a talismanic wand usually manufactured from precious or semi-precious materials such as jade, chalcedony, carnelian, etc. that has the power to grant wishes. In ancient times, it was given as a gift from emperors and empresses to nobles and ministers. In later times, it was a precious gift mutually presented by wealthy families to express the wish that all things be as desired. In the image, the two persimmons“shr-shr”mean“everything,” and the magic wand“ru-yi”means“as desired,” by virtue of being homophones, and they constitute a rebus reading:“May Everything Be As Desired.” |
