Bats (fu 蝠) are homophonous with fu (福), meaning 'good fortune, happiness', and are therefore a particularly auspicious motif, especially when shown flying amidst clouds ( 雲), themselves a pun on fortune ( 運). Red bats carry an added layer of meaning, red ( 紅) sounding like (鸿) meaning vast and abundant, and thus forming the rebus (鸿福齐天): happiness as vast as the sky.
When four bats are depicted together, they allude to the Four Happinesses as described in the poem by the Southern Song scholar-official Hong Ma (1123-1202):
久旱逢甘雨， 他鄉遇故知， 洞房花燭夜， 金榜題名時
Which may be translated as:
