The gecko is homophonic with 'bihu' (meaning 'protection') in Chinese, so it's considered auspicious to stick a gecko on the car. Here is some related information: 1. Homophonic meaning: 'Bihu' (gecko) sounds like 'protection', 'avoiding misfortune', and 'certain fortune' in Chinese. Sticking a 'gecko' is for good luck. 2. Gecko also known as 'Shougong': In traditional Chinese culture, it is also called 'Tianlong' (heavenly dragon). It is regarded as a mascot for warding off evil spirits and bringing prosperity to the family. 3. A symbolic mark: It was originally a model created by the Audi car brand. It represents Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system, showcasing the advantage of Audi's four-wheel drive. Audi also hopes that its four-wheel drive can have strong climbing ability like a gecko.
