* Mutton fat jade Porcelain is so named because of its color and texture, which resemble the fat found on a piece of mutton or lamb. It has no direct connection to mutton or fat, and is not made from animal products.

Description

The carp represents good luck, wealth, and longevity in Chinese culture. According to legend, carp can jump over the Dragon Gate and become a dragon, symbolizing the ability to achieve success, wealth, and great accomplishments. People often use the phrase "carp jumping over the Dragon Gate" to refer to someone who has the opportunity to succeed and advance in their career.

The lotus, on the other hand, represents purity, elegance, and nobility. The lotus has a significant place in Chinese culture and is known as the "gentleman among flowers." The lotus is not only beautiful but also strong, as it can grow in polluted water without being contaminated. Therefore, the lotus symbolizes courage, perseverance, and the ability to withstand difficulties and hardships.

The carp and lotus often appear together in works of art, representing the harmony between good fortune and noble character.
