Yes, a pen holder can be a symbol of good feng shui too! This is a beautiful pen holder made of jade imitation resin and decorated with 3-D images of Nine Carps and Lotus Flowers.
Fish is regarded by the Chinese as a symbol that represents wealth attainment, abundance, success, prosperity and good fortune because of the sound of it in Chinese - 'Yu'. Likewise, phonetically, the number nine is often associated with 'never-ending'. Hence a nine carps image signifies good fortune and wealth luck that will last forever.
On the other hand, the Lotus, called ‘Lian Hua’ in Chinese is a universal symbol of purity and enlightenment. Regarded as good fortune flower by many Feng Shui masters, the lotus is said to turn bad luck to good luck and heighten your sense of joy and peace. In Chinese custom, the word ‘Lian’ sounds like successive and if depicted with the image of a baby, it becomes a symbol of good descendant luck. And because lotus leaves protect the fish under them and fish is regarded as abundance, the lotus also symbolizes good fortune secured through generations. One of the revered Eight Immortals, Ho Hsien Ku holds a lotus. She’s a symbol of family and marriage luck.
The Lotus rising beautifully from the mud and murky water signifies overcoming obstacles in life suggests bad things can turn good and pure, even in the darkest and gloomiest situations. This inspires one that one can distance oneself from any bad luck and sufferings, eventually rise out of it and bloom elegantly if one has a pure and sincere heart.
The Lotus is also associated with Buddhism. The Buddhist sutras say that the lotus has four virtues: scent, purity, softness and loveliness. Legend has it that before Siddartha Gaotama's or the Buddha’s birth, his mother dreamed of a white elephant presenting her with a lotus flower. When the Buddha was born, a lotus appeared in ten directions with each of the seven steps he took.
