The ox also symbolizes virtues highly valued by the Chinese—diligence, loyalty, persistence and forbearance. The ox has been depicted in art works since the Shang and Zhou periods. It can be found in paintings and on ceramics and carvings. These works of art often portray familiar stories such as Laozi riding an ox, or scenes of everyday life such as a herd- boy and his animal. The Art Museum has specially selected for display from its permanent collection a variety of art works of ox in different media ranging from pottery, porcelain and carvings to paintings and woodblock prints.
