Hakka people
The Hakka (), sometimes Hakka Han, are Han Chinese people whose ancestral homes are chiefly in the Hakka-speaking provincial areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Zhejiang, Hainan and Guizhou. The Chinese characters for "Hakka" () literally mean "guest families". Unlike other Han Chinese groups, the Hakkas are not named after a geographical region, e.g. a province, county or city, in China.

The auspiciousness of these objects can be attributed to a variety of factors. In Edo era Japan, hawks were considered "natural emblems of the Japanese warrior class due to their keen eyesight, their predatory nature, and their boldness." The homophone 高 ("taka") means 'great' or 'high.' The eggplant has long been considered to have associations with fertility, and is also a homophone for 成す ("nasu"), "to accomplish; to achieve; to succeed in." 'Fuji' (富士), when written with the homophone "kanji" characters 不 ("fu" - not/ un-) and 死 ("ji" - death), can be interpreted to mean 'immortality.' When taken as a group, the combination of the syllables "fuji", "taka", "nasu" can also be read as homophones for "unparalleled success."
