The Chinese phoenix is a mythical bird known as the fenghuang (凤 凰) in Chinese. Unlike the phoenix of the West, the Chinese phoenix does not have the connotation of a bird rising from ashes. The Chinese phoenix symbolizes joy and peace. It is believed that the phoenix only makes an appearance during periods of prosperity, peace and good government. The phoenix is also the symbol of the empress.
The Chinese word for lotus is lianhua (莲花) or hehua (荷花). "Lian" is also the pronunciation of the word for continuous (连) and "he" is also the pronunciation for the word harmony (和) so the lotus has the hidden meaning of "continuous harmony". A lotus stem and lotus pod shown together symbolize marital harmony and union. Lotus seeds (lianzi 莲 籽) have the hidden meaning of "continuous birth of children" because the lian sounds like "continuous" (连) and the "zi" has the same pronunciation as the word for son or child (zi 子).
The ruyi (如意), considered one of the Eight Treasures, was a sceptre which represented power and authority. The head of the ruyi is similar to that of the lingzhi or "fungus of immortality" and the lotus. The name "ruyi" is usually translated as "as you wish" or "in accordance with your desires". The ruyi now symbolizes good wishes and prosperity.
