It not only reflects the high ancient style of the author's calligraphy and art, but also has the natural interesting of the zodiac characters. On the basis of emphasizing the quality of calligraphy lines, it also highlights the interest of hieroglyphics, which makes the image of the zodiac lively and lively, and makes the viewer enjoy a pleasant aesthetic enjoyment.

The individualized stamp "Sui Sui Ping", issued by China Post, expresses the twelve zodiac signs with paper-cut art, and combines Mr. Ma Zikai's oracle bone inscriptions of the twelve zodiac signs to design exquisite pictures. They complement each other and succeed in concentrating Chinese classical culture between cuns, accurately expressing the good wishes of "every year's auspicious celebration, every year's peace".
