Snakes are the only hibernating animals in the zodiac. They wake up and start activities in spring, symbolizing the cycle of life and vitality. The theme of "Yi Si Ling Snake-Endless Life" runs through the whole process.
In the processing of the picture design, the four snakes are mainly depicted in a united embrace. In Chinese culture, there are endless and endless meanings. Red represents the enthusiasm and vitality of life, constantly radiating new vitality. The four snakes are united and hugged and coiled, resembling a Chinese knot. The coiled structure is also similar to the traditional Chinese folk game "Jumping the Quartet", which adds flexibility and interest to the picture and conforms to the theme of the times. Small snakes in the four directions are interlocked, with different colors, implying that a hundred flowers bloom in all countries in the world, and also represents a prosperous scene of harmony but difference and plastic paint. With the painting technique of line drawing, with general and concise lines, the lilies symbolizing peace are expressed as the decoration and foil of the main body, implying unity, friendship and harmonious coexistence.

All zodiac stamps are based on the Chinese zodiac, which has both Chinese characteristics and a global perspective. The United Nations zodiac stamps are not designed to "show off skills", but to complete a cultural translation and transmission through design.
Its core is to use contemporary design language to share Chinese traditional symbols and cultural stories with the world. Take this stamp of the Year of the Snake as an example, the delicate traditional moire and palate decoration on the snake shows the depth and delicacy of Chinese culture, while the background of the lily is a global language, symbolizing peace and friendship ...... This is not only a stamp, but also a cultural messenger of the United Nations to convey a beautiful vision and blessing to Chinese people around the world, carrying the spiritual connotation of harmony and integration.
