Eight Treasures

As the Chinese word for eight (ba) rhymes with “expand” (fa) and means to expand in wealth, 8 is the most popular Chinese number for luck. The Eight Treasures (Babao) also called Eight Precious Objects come from the Chinese Hundred Treasures of which the most represented are a wish-granting pearl (baozhu), double lozenges (fangsheng) symbolizing successful marriages, a stone chime (qing) for power and wealth, a pair of rhinoceros horns (xijiao) for happiness, double coins (shuangqian) for prosperity, an ingot (ding) for high status, coral (shanhu) for good fortune and longevity and wish-granting scepter or wand (ruyi).
