《The symbolism of two koi - The romantic love》, painted by Dawnxisoul393

Koi in the water are not only beautiful, but they are also treasures of feng shui. They blend the aura of heaven and earth and carry the pride of water. The ancients believed that good Feng Shui can store wind, store "Qi"(氣), and get water. "Qi" is circulating all the time. It is easy to be blown away by the wind and break the balance of the cycle. But it stops when it meets water. Therefore, water can make the circulation of "Qi" smooth, that is, it can keep people's luck. The koi mascot in the water can regulate the flow of "Qi" and maintain the aura between heaven and earth.

The two Koi in our painting have high backs and wide bodies. They are valiant, firm and soft, and calm. Among many Koi species, red and black Koi are more common, which is one of the representative products of Koi. Since ancient times, Koi have been regarded as a symbol of wealth and status. The appearance of koi is gorgeous and dazzling. Koi fish have a long life span and are very productive. The red and black koi fish is one of the longer-lived and more productive koi fish compared to the common koi fish.

Red and black Koi have red and black stripes on their bodies. The brightly colored Koi has always been regarded as a symbol of love. In some parts of ancient Asia, when women got married, they had the custom of raising two-colored Koi. They started raising them before they got married. Before marriage, the bigger the koi, the stronger the koi grows and the brighter the color, which means that both husband and wife will have a better life after marriage. In addition, after the couple gets married, a pair of Koi ornaments should be placed in the wedding room, implying a "full house of children and grandchildren" and a "prosperous population".

Two red and black Koi rotate together, representing romantic love. They encourage us to unite with our soul mates to share a happy life and encourage us to support each other in building our dreams in our own kingdom. Two lovely koi fish swim together and play harmoniously. They are full of joy because they know that they are the whole world in each other's hearts, and they enjoy sweetness together. Open our hearts, accept your partner's enthusiasm, say "I love you", spend every day with your partner, share the fun of life, and sincerely thank your partner for his important role in a happy family relationship.

The difficulties we experience with people with common ideals will become more smooth and bright with our joint efforts. Like these two vibrant Koi, they inject love, healing, and compassion into our hearts. Feel love, love is warm, love is sweet, love is connected with the beautiful lamp in our heart, the beautiful lamp will cultivate our feelings every day, and our love will thrive. Maybe our hearts are tired and struggling with anger, fear, and depression, learn to use the power of love to break it, put it aside, and use love as the source of power to rebirth.

These two lovely Koi will encourage us to do so. Leave behind the burdens that the past has left in our hearts. Letting go of all conflict, anxiety, and sorrow and allowing peace to come and stay. Everything has a spirit. Animals and plants are the same. They are all life. If we take care of them, they will come to those who care for them in various ways. Like these two circulating koi, they bring endless vitality and beautiful melodies to our lives.
