The decoration is rich in symbolism and references to Chinese culture, seemingly crafted in celebration of a wedding. The most important and central to the design are two mythological phoenix birds.

In Chinese symbolism, the phoenix (凤凰, fènghuáng) represents femininity, grace, and virtue, akin to the Empress, as the dragon symbolizes masculinity and the Emperor.

The phoenix, embodying the union of yin and yang, is a revered symbol of peace, prosperity, and harmony. The depiction of two phoenixes together enhances these meanings, often symbolizing a blissful marriage or partnership, indicative of balance and harmony between partners.

This dual phoenix motif is a popular choice for wedding decorations and gifts, wishing newlyweds a life of joy and togetherness. Furthermore, the phoenix signifies times of peace and prosperity; thus, two phoenixes together also symbolize double fortune and harmony, representing renewal, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of life and success.

Additionally, there are several more natural birds in the decoration appearing to be shown as pairs.

The portrayal of two birds in Chinese symbolism usually conveys partnership and marital bliss, symbolizing a loving, harmonious relationship and unity between partners.

This theme is prevalent in Chinese art and poetry, where, for example, in particular mandarin ducks (鸳鸯, yuānyāng) are celebrated for marital fidelity and love, as they are believed to mate for life.
