Colorful Nine Carps for Abundance Pen Holder

Bring some vibrant "yang" energy that attracts good fortune and stimulates the thinking process to your word desk or study table with this colorful pen holder decorated with nine lively carps swimming in a lotus pond. The Chinese word for fish is "Yu" (surplus) and nine sounds like everlasting so nine carps coming together symbolizes unlimited abundance.

For many centuries, the Carp has been regarded as the traditional Feng Shui fish. It is a very strong creature, and there is a tale behind this. It is said that the carps attempted to swim against the powerful current of the Yellow River, so that they could swim through the Dragon Gates and be transformed into a Dragon.

Because the Carp made such a treacherous journey, it is seen as a symbol of determination and strength. Also, the Carp swims upstream by repeatedly jumping out of the water and towards the heavens – this is a representation of an attainment of ambitions and aspirations.

The lotus flower has its fair share of good symbolism too. According to many Feng Shui experts, the lotus flower has the capability to transform bad luck into good as it has the ability to grow out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water surface with remarkable beauty. This exquisite flower also brings you a greater sense of harmony and happiness. The lotus leaves symbolize a protection of your needs, because the fish that they guard under them are known as abundance.
