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.

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.
