Definition
祥和 (xiánghé) describes an atmosphere or appearance that is both peaceful and auspicious — often used for festive settings, a person's kind face, or a harmonious life. 吉祥 (jíxiáng) focuses on the 'lucky' or 'propitious' meaning alone, without the sense of calm or serenity that 祥和 carries.
