The meaning of butterflies: 1. Love and loyalty. Butterflies are a symbol of love because they are loyal to their partners and have only one partner in their lifetime. In ancient times, butterflies were often used to metaphorize loyal love, such as the legend of Liang Zhu turning into butterflies, which expressed love that lasted until death.
2. Freedom and transformation. The metamorphosis of butterflies, from ugly caterpillars to beautiful butterflies, symbolizes the sublimation from ugliness to beauty and spiritual rebirth, and implies freedom and a new beginning.
3. Auspiciousness and fortune. In Chinese, "hu" and "fu" are homophones, so butterflies are often used to symbolize fortune and auspiciousness, and are regarded as symbols of good luck and happiness.
4. Joy and happiness. The lively image of butterflies and the scene of dancing butterflies are often used to symbolize joy and happiness.
5. Continuous descendants and longevity. The pattern of butterflies and melon vines (melon and butterfly pattern) is taken from the homophone "guadie", which means continuous descendants; butterflies are also homophones with "maodie", which symbolizes longevity.
