The year 2024 is the Chinese lunar year of Jia Chen, the Chinese Zodiac Year of the Dragon. The image on the silver medal is based on the freehand painting entitled “Hidden Dragon” by prominent Lingnan School master Professor Au Ho-nien. The dragon has long been a symbol of nobility and good fortune. In wuxing (“Five Elements”) thinking, water represents wealth. This auspicious dragon spewing water not only signifies favorable weather but also symbolizes ongoing prosperity. |

Featuring a peacock painting by Professor Chang Ko-chi. The theme of the artwork is “Joy unfolds like a peacock's tail, radiant and spirited”. The peacock’s resplendent feathers have symbolized wealth and good fortune since ancient times, and the auspicious bird is also considered the embodiment of the mythical phoenix. The pairing of male and female peacocks symbolizes good things coming in pairs, leading to a happily fulfilled life. The peacock’s vibrant display signifies good luck and a promising future. The combination of the peacock (the “king of birds”) and the peony (the “queen of flowers”) conveys wishes for prosperity and abundance. |
