專家說明

The combination of mandarin ducks and lotus, seen on the current dish, is especially auspicious. One word for lotus in Chinese, he, is a homophone for the word for harmony, while another word for lotus, lian, is homophonous to a word meaning successive. Thus, combined with a pair of mandarin ducks, which symbolize fidelity, they form an appropriate wedding motif wishing the couple a harmonious marriage blessed by the birth of many illustrious sons.
