你有没有在中国人的家里见到过一些很特别的装饰品或图案,是一些你从未见过的动物,中国人有时还会把他们戴在身上。这些动物有什么独特的寓意吗? Have you ever visited a Chinese home and noticed some unusual decorations or works of art? Amongst them, there are strange animals you’ve never seen. And what’s more, they seem to show up on a Chinese friend’s clothes every so often…but what exactly is the significance of these strange beasts?
