鱼是我国一种非常传统的祥瑞纹样，古人用以表达追求吉祥如意、祈求平安祥瑞的美好愿望。一来鱼的谐音“余”，鱼自商代以来就被用以表达“富余”的祈望。二来鱼是繁殖力最强的一种生物，鱼善繁殖，鱼子万千，颇有生生不息之势，是生殖力、种族繁衍的象征。因此鱼人们用来表达繁衍生育以及对人丁兴旺的祈求。铜镜中以鱼为纹饰图案，是祈求多子多孙，人丁兴旺、代代相传的意愿，这种意愿应是双鱼纹铜镜的基本内涵之一。以双鱼纹入镜的设计一是含有富足、完美、情爱的寓意，二是便于构图，使画面显得饱满匀称。同时双鱼纹也一定程度反应道家太极学说，讲究阴阳交合。 在太极图上，组成宇宙的就是“阴”与“阳”两类物质，分别代表女与男、地与天、坤与乾等。把鱼放在宇宙母体符号的盘中画成双鱼相反方向，这就是在混沌宇宙母体之中孕有阴阳二气，二气交感化生人类万物和万物生生不息哲学观的符号密码。 此面双鱼纹铜镜直径16.8cm，铜镜背面为两条鲤鱼，头尾相衔，同向回游，逐浪于清流之中，画面充溢着一种灵动的情趣。鲤鱼张嘴鼓腮鳞片细密规整，形态生动活泼微波荡漾。浪花朵朵，萍草飘飘。铸塑工艺精湛细腻，可谓镜中精品。 Fish is a very traditional auspicious pattern in our country, the ancient people used to express the pursuit of good luck, pray for peace and auspicious good wishes.
