"Having an Abundant Harvest, Year after Year “, the image of a gold-plated ox is prominent in the foreground with a trailer loaded high with a bumper crop behind it, and a thatched silo in the rear. The image signifies that every year’s cultivation will lead to the harvest of big and abundant crops to fill the granaries. |

"Every Year a Plenitude of Crops and Fortune to Spare”, the image is of two children, one holding high a lotus branch and flower that signify auspiciousness, and the other cradling in its arms a great carp. The Chinese characters signifying "fish" and "surplus" are homophones, so the image of the carp is a rebus meaning "surplus". The symbols in composite imply that every year there will be a surplus harvest and good fortune. |
