Blessings are an integral part of Chinese culture. By giving a blessing in the form of a coin, medal, or other traditional way of expressing good luck, the giver expresses a wish or hope for the recipient's future happiness.

Both written and spoken Chinese lend themselves particularly well to symbolism and double meaning. Through the graphic symbols of the written language and the overlapping of similar-sounding words, the culture has developed a tradition of using letters, sounds, and images to convey powerful messages with amplified meaning. These messages are easily understood in Chinese and Chinese-Canadian culture.
