The Joy of Fish (Set of 2)
Not being a fish,
perhaps you are unable to
fully comprehend its joy?
The joy embodied within a fish
spans heaven and earth,
carefree and unfettered,
majestic and grand.
观鱼乐 （对装)
子非鱼
莫非
只有鱼才会懂？
鱼之乐
方寸天地
逍遥自得
胸中有气象万千
Design Concept
Six goldfish swim through the water in carefree harmony, their tails fanning out like gauze against blooming begonia. The motif derives from a traditional proverb “Jin Yu Man Tang”, meaning abundance both in wealth and knowledge. Set of 2 tumblers and 2 pairs of “Blessed” chopsticks with peony motif and Liuli crystal bead, this beautiful set is ideal for a Valentine's day gift to celebrate special moments or a Chinese New Year family time at home.
The Joy of Fish was inspired by a famous conversation between two Chinese philosophers Zhuangzi and Hui Shi. The “joy” Zhuangzi posits is more than the emotion, it is the ultimate joy born from ultimate beauty in life. it is heavenly joy. It is a boundless and carefree spiritual state; it emanates from within, it is constant, and it is absolute.
六尾悠游的金鱼，快乐自在，和睦美好，尾羽如纱裙展开，与盛开的海棠相唿应谐音“金玉满堂”，营造花舞鱼飞的瑰丽景象。此琉璃对杯及「箸福」牡丹图腾筷子的套装，琉璃敞口杯，用途广泛：饮用器皿或甜品甜汤容器, 果干，茶叶容器，适合年节赠礼与情人节赠礼。祝福新人，长辈，情人或朋友。
鱼乐，出自《庄子·秋水》，是战国时代的两位思想家（也是好朋友）。庄子与惠施的一次辩论。庄子所肯定的「乐」，不仅仅是情绪上的「乐」。而是由「至美」而生的「至乐」，或称为「天乐」；是一种自由无限，逍遥自在的心灵境界。
