In China culture, cats are regarded as symbols of making money, exorcising evil spirits, representing wealth and good luck. On the other hand, magpie is a lucky bird in China traditional culture, which is regarded as a symbol of joy and good luck, representing good news and happiness.
Therefore, the implication of cats and magpies together can be understood as the combination of wealth and good luck with joy and happiness. This moral often appears in China's traditional paintings, literary works and folk stories to pray for good luck and happiness.
