| Additional information |
Part of China's long-running Auspicious Culture series, which draws on traditional folk symbolism tied to festivals, harvest cycles, and ritual calendars that predate the imperial period by centuries. The People's Bank has issued thematic gold pieces in this vein since the 1980s, though the series has expanded considerably in both subject range and annual volume since the 2010s.
