The word 'fish' harmonises with “surplus”symbolising wealth and prosperity. "The phrase 'like a fish in water' depicts the harmony and happiness of life. The fish is regarded as a folk good luck object because it is homophonic with the word “surplus ”which gives rise to the psychological desire for a good life and a surplus of food and clothing. In the Central Plains, it is still customary to keep the fish on New Year's Eve until the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is known as "having a surplus every year". Some people also liken it to "fish getting water" to describe the love of a couple and the harmony between people and their environment and the success of their career. The fish is a symbol of joy and prosperity in China, and people like to use it to express good wishes, such as "Yearly Prosperity", "Auspicious Prosperity" and "Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate". In traditional Chinese painting, the fish is one of the most representative languages of good luck and blessing, expressing a good wish for life and career.

Artist Haiting Tang was born in Inner Mongolia ( China ) in 1974. Her parents are from Shanghai where her father was an actor and her mother a nurse in hospital , but due to the Cultural Revolution, the government sent them to Inner Mongolia. Haiting thus spent all her school years there. Since the age of four, she has been passionate about painting and used it to express her imagination. In 1994, as top of her class in Inner Mongolia, she entered the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts from where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1998. That same year, she started teaching at the Art College of Tianjin University of Science & Technology while studying for her Master’s degree, which she received in 2001 from the Beijing Fashion Institute. From 2010 to 2011 , she was a senior visiting scholar at the Center Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Professor Luo Shiping , studying Han and Tang Dynasties Fine Arts. Artist Haiting Tang worked for over 20 years at Tianjin University of Science & Technology as an associate professor and a master’s supervisor. In 2018, she settled in Switzerland, starting her career as a professional painter of contemporary art. Tang carefully arranges her paintings with seemingly random elements and traces. These move the image statement into a heightened state of consciousness.
