1. In Chinese culture, clouds are considered an auspicious omen, symbolizing fortune and ascension. "Auspicious Clouds" (Xiang Yun) specifically refer to the stylized, flowing cloud patterns that are emblematic of luck and blessings. With a history spanning millennia, these motifs are commonly found in ancient textiles, architecture, and artworks. They represent good fortune, harmony, and a positive future—signifying that opportunities and favorable circumstances will gather like benevolent clouds. The design also embodies flexibility in thought and action, suggesting the ability to adapt and seize opportunities as they naturally arise.
