500 |a The print depicts five gods of wealth flanked by two civil and military door gods. In Chinese tradition the five gods of wealth guard the five directions (four cardinal plus centre) and they are also the keepers of gold and silver, their attribute being a treasure chest that is mounted on the back of an ox. The image of the spring ox goes back to the Song dynasty (960-1279) where it is attested in the Recollections of the Eastern capital that an ox would be driven with whips into the capital and the imperial city on the day before spring. Whipping the spring ox thus became symbolic for welcoming the new spring season. This type of print often incorporated a table showing the twenty-four seasonal changes in the weather throughout the year, as a guide for farmers when ploughing and harvesting. The purpose of the print is to ensure plentiful harvests. The border of the print also shows the names of each the sixty years comprised in the Chinese calendar cycle
