1. The origin of nine fish gathering wealth
Nine fish are also called "Nine Rus".
According to ancient books, there is a saying in the Book of Songs: "Heaven protects you so that everything will not fail to flourish. It is like a mound, a hill like a mausoleum, a river coming from anywhere, but it will not fail to increase; like the moon, it is constant, and it is like the sun. "The rise is like the longevity of Nanshan Mountain, which will not collapse; like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, everything will be sustained." There are nine "ru" characters in this poem, and they are all auspicious words. Because "ru" has the same sound as fish, so I drew a picture of nine fishes and titled it "Jiuru" as an auspicious cross-stitch painting.
2. Why Nine Fishes Gather Wealth
Fish belongs to water in the five elements. Water is circulated, and so is wealth.
The ancients realized the importance of the liquidity of goods (financial currency) a long time ago, and used water to describe this liquidity.
Later generations, especially the Feng Shui industry, gradually mystified and symbolized it, using water as a symbol of wealth, and derived sayings such as "water can generate wealth" and "water can gather wealth".
Therefore, fish belongs to water, and water can generate wealth, so there is a saying that nine fish gather wealth.
