Zhan Gengxi (Chinese, B. 1941) "Mother Pig w/ Babies" Signed lower left. Original Watercolor painting on Rice Paper laid on Cardboard. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the 29c The Year of the Pig Lunar New Year Series stamp issued December 30, 1994. Regarded by many Westerners as a combination of mathematical complexities and symbolic tradition, the Chinese lunar calendar is aligned in repeating 12-year cycles. Each year in the cycle is represented by a different animal. Many legends offer explanations for how these particular creatures were chosen. One states that the Heavenly Jade Emperor summoned all the world's animals to participate in a race. The first 12 to complete the challenge were chosen to represent each of the different years, which were assigned by the order in which the animal finished. Occupying first place is the rat, who, according to the story, did so by using trickery. When confronted by a large river that he was unable to cross, the clever rodent hitched a ride on the back of the ox, another participant in the race. As they neared the far side of the river, the rat jumped from the large beast to finish first. The pig, 1995's symbol, came in 12th, capturing last place. Perhaps this explains why those born during the Year of the Pig appear to be sedate and easy going! People whose birth years are represented by the Pig are also believed to be sincere, tolerant and honest. But, because they expect others to possess these same honorable traits, they are considered to be naive as well. Image Size: 8.25 x 9.75 in. Overall Size: 12.5 x 14.25 in. Unframed. (B14910)

Zhan Gengxi (Chinese, B. 1941) "Two Black-necked Cranes Walking" Signed and stamped lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Rice Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the 29c Black-necked Crane stamp issued October 9, 1994. To the Chinese people, many varieties of birds are considered symbolic. The golden pheasant, for example, is associated with royalty, denoting glory, splendor, wealth and rank. The beautiful kingfisher, too, is fraught with symbolism. Its jade-colored feathers represent nobility and fortune. The crane is considered a meaningful bird in China as well. One writer comments that cranes are best known as symbols of longevity. Still others report that Chinese mythology describes the birds as emblems of justice. China's Black-necked Crane is also reputed to denote the ideas of friendship and peace. Those attributes are both no doubt partly responsible for the Black-necked crane being chosen as one of the two birds featured on stamps issued jointly by the United States and the People's Republic of China in 1994. The other bird is America's Whooping Crane. Both species of cranes are today considered rare. Though at one time naturalists could easily count thousands of Black-necked Cranes wintering in China's Y?nnan province, they have become noticeably fewer in number. Likewise the Whooping Crane, which once numbered in the thousands, has been reduced to a mere 100 or so individuals. Conservation efforts in both countries seek to preserve these striking birds for the future. Only time will tell if they will be successful. Image Size: 11.25 x 12.5 in. Sheet Size: 12.25 x 14.5 in. Overall Size: 16 x 20 in. Unframed. (B14740)

Wang Huming (Chinese, B. 1962) "Year of the Rat" Original Watercolor on Illustration Board painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 32c Year of the Rat stamp issued February 8, 1996. It is unclear exactly when in ancient times the Chinese began to use the "Sheng Xiao," or lunar horoscope, to predict the character and fate of a person born in a given year. However, we do know that, even today, the horoscope remains an integral part of everyday life for many people in China and elsewhere around the world. Regarded by many Westerners as a combination of mathematical complexities and symbolic tradition, the Chinese lunar calendar is aligned in repeating 12-year cycles. Each year in the cycle is represented by a different animal. Many legends offer explanations for how these particular creatures were chosen. One states that the Heavenly Jade Emperor summoned all the world's animals to participate in a race. The 12 fastest competitors would receive a place on the calendar according to the order in which they finished. The last stage of the race involved crossing a large river. The rat convinced the kind-hearted ox to carry him across and, as they neared the riverbank, the rat leapt from the ox's back onto land. Through his trickery, the rat succeeded in winning the race and capturing first place in the calendar. Perhaps this explains why those born during the Year of the Rat are said to be impatient and somewhat opportunistic. People whose birth years are represented by the rat are also believed to be cheerful, sentimental and devoted to their families. Image Size: 12.5 x 9.5 in. Overall Size: 16.5 x 13.75 in. Unframed.
