Bamboo Slip- Ox Featured

Bamboo slip is a writing material that was initially used in ancient times in China, from the Zhou Dynasty and Warring States Period to the Wei and the Jin Dynasties. It was used most widely in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. By about the 4th century, paper was already used extensively and replaced Bamboo slip as the primary writing material. To form a bamboo slip, an article is written with a brush on several long, narrow, pared slices of bamboo. Only one line of words is written on each slice. The slices are then tied together to form what is called the "bamboo slip." This book form was typically used for writing essays. Nowadays, bamboo slip patterned with painting or calligraphy has a high artistic and decorative value, so it is an excellent choice to be a collection or present. This bamboo slip is patterned with ox. A folk proverb says,?? The year of the cow is favorable for farming.?? According to the proverb, whenever a Year of the Ox comes around, farmers can expect good weather for their crops. This belief most likely stems from the fact that the ox is used for farming, so the hardworking farmers feel that they must get some benefit in the year of the animal. Of the twelve zodiac animals, the ox is one of the most common but magnificent images: strong, simple and unadorned.
