Adding Flowers to Brocade — Jin Shang Tian Hua (锦上添花)

In Chinese, the koi is called jin li (锦鲤) — the “brocade carp” — because its brilliant scales shimmer like woven silk brocade. Here, six brocade carp glide beneath a magnolia in full bloom: flowers laid upon brocade — jin shang tian hua, “adding flowers to brocade.”

Literally, the idiom means embroidering flowers onto brocade that is already beautiful. Its deeper meaning is one of China’s most beloved blessings: to make something already good even better — good fortune added to good fortune, a good life made more splendid still.

The six carp carry a blessing of their own: six (liu, 六) stands for smooth flowing harmony, and the koi themselves have symbolized abundance, perseverance and rising success for a thousand years — may there be surplus year after year (nian nian you yu, 年年有余).

Description

Koi is the most prized fish in the feng shui world. A decorative variety of carp, koi come in several bright colors such as red, yellow, blue, white and sometimes black. The typical number for Koi fish in a feng shui aquarium is 9 (8 brightly colored koi and 1 black koi fish). The black fish is there to neutralize bad luck.

You can also find feng shui cures with 2 koi fish, this being a feng shui cure to attract love and fidelity. There are also paintings with any number of koi fish in a stream, which is used to represent a fresh flow of abundance. Still, best numbers are considered either 9 or multiples of 9. Such as 99, 36, 999 etc.
