As you walk through Prince Kung's Palace, you'll find bat motifs appearing everywhere—in carvings and decorations. They are a clever example of traditional Chinese wordplay: the Chinese character for "bat" (fu) is a homophone for "blessing" (fu). By incorporating bats into the architectural design, ancient people expressed their heartfelt wishes for happiness and prosperity—an ingenious blend of creativity and wisdom.
