Ready for the Year of the Horse? A wide variety of horse-themed products from across China are lining the shelves, eagerly awaiting customers to take them home to add luck and a festive touch for the upcoming Spring Festival, which arrives on February 17 this year.

Horse-themed blind boxes, keychains, and figurines combining cultural heritage with modern consumer trends are among the bestsellers.

As a prime example, in Yiwu, the world's largest small commodity market, one standout product is a framed three-dimensional paper-cut portrait depicting a "Horse Stepping on Auspicious Clouds." Featuring colors inspired by ancient Buddhist art found in the grottoes of northwest China's Dunhuang, the product has been drawing buyers from both domestic and international markets.

Meanwhile, gold jewelry featuring horse motifs is enjoying robust sales. Particularly popular are pendants of a chubby horse adorned with coin, flower, and gold ingots on the back, symbolizing wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture.
