symbolism
Ox (Niu). The animal that draws the plough. Second animal in the Chinese zodiac. Connected to water. Symbolizes the spring, as work on land began in spring with the ceremonial ploughing in which the Emperor at times took part.
Ox herdboys riding oxen have been used as a motif in painting and graphic arts to symbolize the ability of the mind to control the body. That is, philosophically, symbolizing the ability of intellectual will to rule bodily strength and its physical urges.
