On the other hand, the Mandarin Chinese word for butterfly is “hu-tieh”, “tieh” meaning 70 years. It symbolizes long life.
Butterflies are also commonly interpreted as the homeowner which the butterfly roams around is going to receive a special or important guest. If the butterfly is with bright and vibrant colors, the visitor is a bearer of good news about your love life. If it is dark-colored, almost black, the guest will tell you something good relating to your career or business.
It is important to remember not to chase or cause harm to the butterfly as your good luck might turn into a bad luck.
