Why do China have so many names for cows?
Cattle have the auspicious meaning of hard work and good weather, and are regarded as symbols of hard work, selflessness, courage, stubbornness and wealth.

1, hardworking and selfless dedication

Cattle have always been diligent in their work, always trying and complaining, and never asking for more returns when harvesting, which symbolizes the spirit of hard work and selfless dedication.

2. Be brave and stubborn

The backbone figures with great strength and hard work are often called "old ox"; Tall and strong men are often described as "big cows and big horses"; Stubborn and stubborn people are often called "stubborn".

3. Wealth

In western culture, cattle are a symbol of wealth. According to the biblical Exodus, shortly after leaving Egypt, the Israelites followed the custom of being impressed in Egypt, and created a golden calf in the image of a cow to worship as the image of the Lord God. Therefore, the golden calf has become a symbol of money and wealth, and the activity of cattle also represents production and appreciation, so the continuous rise of stock price is called "bull market".

This year, I think if you buy a hand-embroidered picture of five cows for your friend, I wish him good luck in the Year of the Ox, and the cows will become dry. He loved it!
