百余件古代艺术珍品亮相梅溪湖：一场关于“福”的文化解码

What does a bat have to do with happiness? Or a fish with abundance? A new exhibition at Meixihu Art Museum in Changsha answers these questions. 

蝙蝠为什么代表“福”？鱼为什么代表“有余”？9月13日在长沙梅溪湖艺术博物馆开幕的“福满人间——中国传统吉祥图像展”，给出了答案。

“Blessings for All — Traditional Chinese Auspicious Imagery Exhibition,” opening September 13 and running through March 14, 2027, presents over 100 ancient artworks organized around five themes: fortune, prosperity, longevity, joy, and wealth. Each piece tells a story through visual symbols deeply embedded in Chinese daily life — a deer for career success, a pomegranate for many children, a bat for good luck. Curated by Changsha’s Daguanchang Art Museum, the show spans paintings, ceramics, and textiles, revealing how ordinary objects became carriers of blessings over centuries. Visitors can also join a scavenger hunt with 1,000 limited-edition transparent cards, matching characters to artifacts for photo-worthy moments. 

展览以“福、禄、寿、喜、财”五大主题，精选百余件古代绘画、器物与织绣珍品，揭示中国人如何将祝福藏进日常图案——鹿象征仕途、石榴寓意多子、蝙蝠谐音“福”。展览由长沙市大观仓艺术博物馆策划，展期至2027年3月14日。现场还设有1000份限量“寻福”透卡互动，观众可手持卡片在展厅中寻找对应展品，拍照打卡。

For travelers planning a trip to central China, this is a rare chance to decode the visual language of Chinese culture — one symbol at a time.

对于计划来中国中部旅行的海外游客而言，这是一次解码中国文化视觉语言的难得机会——一个符号，就是一个祝福。
