The figures of the lucky animals were continuously created and developed by our ancestors over the past ages. They remain an abundant heritage of arts and are widely used in palace, tomb, residence, garden, furniture, tableware, clothing, etc. The figures not only show the remarkable Chinese genius in art, but also turn people's fear and adoration for the animals into the concepts of warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune.
