Good Luck

Chinatown, San Francisco, California

Tangerines and oranges are frequently displayed in homes and stores.
Tangerines are symbolic of good luck, and oranges are symbolic of wealth.
These symbols have developed through a language pun, the word for tangerine
having the same sound as "luck" in Chinese, and the word for orange having
the same sound as "wealth".
