The meaning of the Three Abundances is explained by Terese Tse Bartholomew in In Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, Hong Kong, 2006, p. 31, stating that the Three Abundances (sanduo) combined with a bat (fu) means 'May you be blessed with The Three Abundances (fushou sandou). The Buddha's Hand citron, peach, and pomegranate together form the motif of the Three Abundances: blessings, long life, and many sons. The word for "Buddha's Hand citron" (foshou) is homophonous with "blessings" (fu) and 'longevity" (shou) combined. The peach symbolizes longevity, while the pomegranate, with its many seeds, represents many sons. The presence of the bat adds more blessings.
