In Chinese culture, Three Yangs Meet Bliss is a blessing to people at the Lunar New Year and people often pray for good fortune for a new year. This painting was assumed to have been created by the Xuande Emperor, the fifth emperor of China's Ming Dynasty from 1425 to 1435. He was 31 when he made it. Decorated with bamboos and camellias, one ewe is breastfeeding two lambs. In Chinese culture, the sheep embodies kindness and filiality.
