  bats in Chinese design

 

Thailand

The bat is a symbol for good luck as the pronunciation of fu, the Chinese word for ‘bat’, echoes the sound of the word foo which means ‘good luck’. It therefore often appears in art, both in its natural form and stylized as a logo, as seen here in the center of this box cover.
