The sheep is also a docile animal in Chinese culture and we may often refer to a person as being "as meek as a lamb". From this painting, we can see three sheep are chewing grass at their ease with a rising sun behind them. Anyone who is familiar with Chinese culture knows that "Yang" also represents the sun in Chinese culture. As is known to all, when the sun shines on the land, everything will be back to its energetic state, which is a good sign for a new start.
