Yin Yang Fish Wall Scroll

The painting in this wall scroll represents the balance in life known as "Yin Yang" in the Asian world.
The title means "Year in year out have abundance".

In traditional Chinese culture, people believe that everything has balance...

These fish are associated strongly with both Japanese and Chinese cultures. Beautiful garden parks in the cities around China are often graced with a pond full of these fish throughout the year. They are a very strong fish as they can be seen swimming slowly under thick sheets of ice in lakes during the brutal Winter of northern China.

Also, in Mandarin Chinese, "fish" is pronounced "Yu" which is the same pronunciation as the word meaning "abundance", "wealth" or "being rich". So many Chinese people believe that having a painting of fish in your home will bring you wealth and riches.
