Monkey mascots on display in Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province, Jan 11, 2016. Since 1996, mascots of each year's zodiac, made by indigo print fabric, are designed by the national intangible culture inheritor and curator of the Nantong Indigo Print Fabric Museum Wu Yuanxin and his daughter Wu Lingshu. Since this is the year of monkey, these mascots symbolize happiness and good luck in the Chinese new year, Wu said. [Photo/IC]
