Happy Chinese New Year
In Chinese culture the snake is a symbol of life, representing the continuity and propagation of life. It also represents wealth and good fortune, and is seen as a messenger of prosperity.
With its remarkable ability to shed its skin, the snake undergoes a transformation and renewal through the cycles of time. This regenerative power has become part of the snake's symbolism, signifying the cycle of life and rebirth.
Similarly, investment means the regeneration and growth of wealth, especially in the changing economic climate.
