Symbolically in Chinese culture, butterflies represent love, specifically young love. It is a tradition in among girls in southeast China to celebrate the spring goddess in late spring. When the time is right, girls pick special flowers, play with butterflies and make willow crowns for the celebration. Butterflies are signs that the best of the season has arrived.
Butterfly with flowers symbolize sweet, innocent love and an early, but perfect marriage. Butterflies also represent freedom, specifically, the freedom to choose. To fly free from human longings and desires and soar joyfully into the heavens.
Centuries ago, when Susho began to evolve from home furnishing and clothing, the Emperor and his court wanted wall art to decorate their palaces. The aristocrats favored natural scenes, wanting to capture the detail and texture of flora and fauna. Susho artists learned to please the taste of the elites, by making natural scenes as realistic as possible.
Symbolically, the images were meant to permanently capture the essences and benefits of the subjects. Even an Emperor cannot keep a butterfly alive forever, but capturing its soul in silk will make it a captive, eternally.
