The prototype of this group of New Year lighting decorations is "Five Bulls".
"Five Bulls" was created by the painter Han Huang of the Tang Dynasty. It is one of China's top ten famous paintings and is also the oldest existing Chinese painting on paper. This work is now in the Palace Museum.
"Five Bulls" Spring Festival lighting uses traditional craftsmanship in Sichuan and Chongqing to present the style of five cows and the noble character of cows at the same time.
