China: A paper cutting of auspicious twin fish.

In China, the fish is symbolic of unity and fidelity as it is noted that fish often swim together in pairs. With this in mind, fish are often given as wedding gifts in the form of charms or figurines to present the newly-wed couple with an auspicious sign of fidelity and perfect union. They also represent fertility and abundance due to their ability to reproduce in speed and volume.
