This was especially true during the late Ching dynasty, when the country was very weak, living conditions bad, and there was an acute lack of security. With the pressing desire for a better life, the bat as symbol of good fortune appeared everywhere on architecture, furniture, tools, clothes, and whenever there was an opportunity for it to appear in the objects of folk art.
尤其到清朝末年，國家積弱，民生凋敝，人們特別缺乏安全感，求好日子的心更急切，代表福氣的蝙蝠，出現在建築、家俱、器物、服飾，與各種民藝品中的機會也就更多了。
