Chinese candy box
It is usually colored with a red or black motif, since traditional candy boxes were lacquerware.Also red symbolizes good fortune and joy (see Color in Chinese culture).The Coconut candy (椰子糖), originally produced by Yan Chim Kee (甄沾記), is another commonly added item.[3] The Cantonese pronunciation of coconut (ye zi) sounds similar to grandfather and grandson.[4] Pastry items like sweet or savory fried dumplings (Yau gok), representing good wealth and fortune, and smiling sesame cookie balls (笑口棗, or siu hau zou) representing happiness,[5] can also be included.
