Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 25, 2000 Staff Share Posted January 25, 2000 Dear Anon,Red symbolises auspiciousness for the Chinese. It can be seen on wedding invitation cards, red banners above the main door, during Chinese New Year or on moving into a new house etc...The Japanese do have a Koi fish e.g. the Tancho, with a circular red patch on the fish's head. The rest of the body of the fish is white (silvery) coloured.The Red also symbolises the `rising' sun.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/23/00 2:51:08 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,Why chinese people considerthe crane with the red dot onhead auspicious.
