After a month, Meng Hu debuted
This year is the sixth year that Mr. Chen Xiangbo has designed the zodiac. "Initially, I thought that every year I was painting zodiac signs, hoping that this year I could have a very simple image that is in line with the fun of young people today. So I drew this pencil, and then I used the brush to check it out and sent a circle of friends. The MengHu manuscript of the circle of friends happened to be noticed by the relevant person in charge of CCTV. They found Chen Xiangbo and made some improvements on this basis, forming the main visual image of the last Spring Festival Gala.
Tiger, Tiger, Tiger!
In traditional Chinese culture, the "tiger" is a symbol of bravery and might, driving away evil spirits, suppressing ghosts and disasters, and auspicious wishes, and is also the protector of the town of evil. Chen Xiangbo said: The totemic worship and cultural legends about tigers are a cultural phenomenon in which the Chinese nation communicates with man and god, connects with nature, prays for blessings and wards off evil spirits, and never ceases to live. Tiger culture is also an important part of the national cultural spirit, penetrating into all aspects of national aesthetic culture.
