Symbolism:
Butterfly – joy and conjugal felicity. Butterfly is pronounced in homonym with the word die which means a 80 years old. Two butterflies together is meant a wish of “longevity”. “Die” is also pronounced similar to another word which means to “pile up” or “repeat” – and thus given the meaning “many”.
Peony – Mu-Dan – Queen of Flowers, the peony is a emblem of wealth and distinction.
