The Meaning Behind “Double 8, Double Blessings”
In Taiwan, August 8th is celebrated as Father’s Day, as the number “8” (bā) shares a similar pronunciation with “dad” (bà). For this occasion, NewChi Porcelain presents a curated selection of pieces featuring circular, gourd, or figure-eight motifs—symbols of harmony, wellness, and continuity.
The number 8 also echoes the sound of “prosperity” (fā), carrying wishes for strength, success, and abundance in a father’s life. When two circles come together, they resemble the infinity symbol (∞), a poetic reminder that our gratitude and blessings are never-ending—always present, and always flowing.
