《A beautiful, peaceful, and auspicious combination - Lotus and Koi》Painted by Dawnxisoul393

The lotus flower and koi paintings are one of our favorite paintings. Our painting of "Koi and Lotus" has its poetic flavor. In this painting, red lotus flowers are in full bloom and the wind carries the fragrance of lotus flowers. A beautiful koi fish swims toward us in the sunlight on the crystal water. The water is like an elegant silk scarf. The lotus leaves are stretched and the dew rolls on them. The lotus flowers are graceful and beautiful, quiet and moving. Koi fish weave in and out of the lotus leaves and flowers, a fascination with nature and life. With the sound of water, the koi fish jump out of the water. It was as if the miracle of the world appeared at this moment.

Koi fish is quite representative of the tradition and has many symbolic meanings. People in many Asian countries use koi fish to represent their family's tradition of good luck in the coming year. Lotus has the meaning of purity and innocence, which has been loved by scholars since ancient times. The dark green lotus leaves stretch and the dewdrops roll. Elegant and moving, noble and beautiful lotus has been a precious flower to beautify life and cultivate sentiment since ancient times. The combination of lotus and koi fish means beauty, peace, and auspiciousness.

The unique and gorgeous appearance, colorful scales, and graceful tail of koi fish not only bring good morals but also improve the geomantic omen of home and bring good fortune. In the long-term historical development, people endow koi fish with rich cultural connotations. The ancients associated koi fish with marriage, and later generations blessed a happy marriage with "fish and water together". In some places, when a wedding ceremony is held, there is also a ceremony of "koi fish sprinkling children". When the bride comes out of the marriage sedan chair, the groom throws the engraved koi coins around the marriage sedan chair as a metaphor for more children and more women in the future, so the koi fish becomes an auspicious object to pray for fertility, so the koi fish becomes an auspicious sign of praying for fertility. The ancient people used koi-shaped wooden boards to make envelopes, which were used to transmit letters. Therefore, in ancient poetries, koi fish was also a symbol of friendship and love.

Koi fish also means endless. In traditional thinking, flowing water represents wealth. Lotus koi fish, also known as the combination of prosperity and wealth, means that fortune is changing and wealth is abundant. Fish cannot live without water. Water is wealth. 

The lotus rising from the depth of the pool implies the potential vitality. Flowers die, roots never die, the next year as green, flowers bloom but also implies the continuous reincarnation of people. Lotus symbolizes purity and enlightenment. Although it grows from the sludge and murky water, it becomes the most beautiful flower in the world under the sun. Koi fish is small at birth, but when it has the courage and strength to successfully fight the current, it can grow into a powerful life. When the lotus and the koi fish meet, it represents overcoming pain, struggling, and spiritual growth. Beauty comes from a hard environment.

We may feel that there is something missing in our life, and we are eager to be fulfilled. We may feel that there is chaos everywhere and we are eager to restore order. We may be in a financial shortage and we need to change urgently. We may feel lost and hope to find a bright road for us in the dark.

When we are in a dark and challenging period, we must understand that many obstacles and difficulties are in front of us, and we have learned valuable lessons and experiences. Obstacles and difficulties are not permanent. We need to control our inner world, sow hope, and harvest tomorrow. With hope in our hearts, we believe that the darkness will soon pass, a new day is coming, and the sun will shine on the earth. Connect us with the spirit of lotus and koi fish, and turn our obstacles into new possibilities for happiness and prosperity. We will show our beauty like lotus and our strength like koi fish.
