This issue belongs to the long-running Chinese Auspicious Culture series, which the People's Bank launched to systematically document traditional folk customs and festival iconography considered at risk of fading from popular practice. The 2017 release focused on themes tied to the lunar calendar cycle, reflecting a broader state cultural preservation push that accelerated under Xi Jinping's administration alongside similar programs in porcelain, silk, and performing arts.
Mintage for individual Auspicious Culture issues has historically been capped at 30,000 pieces — modest by Chinese commemorative standards, where some Panda issues run into the millions.
