CRAB APPLE - The crab apple (海棠花 haitang hua) could be combined with other emblems to create auspicious rebuses. Its second character, 棠 tang, provides a rebus for 堂 tang, meaning hall, and, by extension, ‘the family home’. Crab-apple flowers and peonies are sometimes combined to suggest the phrase 滿堂富貴 mantang fugui: ‘May the whole family achieve wealth and honour’.

Do you know that the flowers of crabapples and quince fruits are both called "haitang" in Chinese? Unknown to many people, haitang flowers are a big, complex and diverse family. They may come from different genera and have varied fruits.
