Chinese rugs-making is concentrated mainly in Peking, Shanghai, 

Tsingtao and Tientsin area. Chinese rugs come from factory like workshops with Senneh knots on strong cotton foundation; 

Chinese rugs usually have deep woolen pile. Chinese wool is very hard-wearing, therefore suitable for area rugs.

Most Chinese rugs are clipped in low relief. 

Rugs of this type are made in various colors, 

blue is the most common but rose, yellow, and beige are also used extensively. 

Often designs are constructed round a medallion. Most Chinese motifs are symbolic rather than decorative. 

A common motif which comes in form of a medallion or a border component is the Shou character, 

which symbolizes long life. The Fu character, which is less common, means good luck. 

Instead of the Fu character, bats are frequently used to symbolize good luck. 

The following are a few more common Chinese motifs and their meanings although many more exist.
