This case was a competition in the Taiwanese post office. The theme is about 2021 lunar year. I have created two versions. The Chinese zodiac sign in 2021 is Ox, and 2020 is Rat. You could find the ox and rat's tail in this design.
The theme of the first design is "Visiting and sharing the luck with you " (Chinese name: 一起去賀年吧!) The elements in this design: Ox, Temple, Fish, lantern, Spring couplets, Gold ingot
This idea is from my experiences in the lunar years. There are three things my father always done during the lunar year. Firstly the greetings, "gung shi fa tsai", secondly driving and visiting many people numbers around Taiwan, most of them are families or close friends. Tha last one is going to the temple.
First of all, in Taiwan, during the traditional New Year, the greeting, when we meet other people, we first say "Wishing you prosperity and wealth! ".(恭喜發財 gung shi fa tsai) I changed my greetings into spring festival couplets, gold ingots and fish
The second is to visit others. According to our tradition, this small family will hold a New Year’s Eve dinner with the father’s grandparents. On the second day of the new year, visit my grandparents beside my mother. Take me as an example. My parents live in Hsinchu City in northern Taiwan, while my father's parents live in Taichung in central Taiwan. My mother is from Chiayi in southern Taiwan. We will drive from north to south to visit different people. However, I really can't enjoy traffic jams, which is why I choose the train here instead of a car.
The last one is the temple. Actually, people not only go to the temple during the Lunar New Year, but most people will visit the temple to wish them health and safety in this holidays. For me, I would not do that, but my father would. I just went to other shops or stalls near the temple to wait for him.
