Liu Yusu (Chinese, 20th C.) "Year of the Dragon" Watercolor. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 60¢ Happy New Year 2000 Souvenir Sheet issued January 20, 2000. One of 12 different animals representing the 12-year repeating cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar, the dragon reigns supreme in 2000. The mystical dragon has long been held in high esteem by the Chinese. Many legends offer explanations for how these creatures became associated with the calendar. 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 rat finished first while the dragon came in fifth. Those born in a given year are said to share that animal's character traits. People whose birth years are represented by the dragon are believed to be intelligent, gifted, and full of vitality and enthusiasm. Image Size: 9.75 x 12 in. Overall Size: 10.75 x 14.5 in. Unframed.

Wan Weisheng (Chinese, B. 1932) "Year of the Rooster" Stamped lower left. Tempra on Watercolor Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. The Chinese horoscope or "Sheng Xiao" is well known in China. Many Chinese consult their horoscopes before marrying or having children. "Sheng Xiao" refers to 12 animals that represent the passage of years. Each year is characterized by a specific animal. Many legends tell of how these animals were chosen to represent time's passing. One legend has it that the Heavenly Jade Emperor summoned all the world's animals to participate in a race. The first 12 to finish would take their respective places in the time continuum. The first to finish, the Rat, did so by trickery. Unable to swim and finding himself confronted by a large river toward the end of the race, the Rat begged a ride with the kind-hearted Ox. As the two approached the opposite bank, the Rat leaped from the Ox's back and was deemed champion. The Ox took second. The Rooster couldn't swim either and, employing the Rat's strategy, hitched a ride with the Duck. Taking advantage of his longer legs, the Rooster hopped off the Duck's back as the two reached shallow water and claimed 10th place. The Duck finished 13th and was therefore not among the chosen 12. When the race was over the two most ferocious animals in the world, the Tiger and the Dragon, were furious that the Rat was to be the leader of the horoscope. Their roars of displeasure reverberated throughout the land, terrifying all those around them. As an act of appeasement, the Tiger and the Dragon were crowned the King of the Mountains and the King of the Seas respectively. Image Size: 8.5 x 8 in. Overall Size: 11.5 x 15.5 in. Unframed.
