Phlpost issued for
Taipei 2023 special souvenir sheets featuring Year of the Water
Rabbit (Chinese/Lunar New Year).
The rabbit is the symbol of longevity,
peace, and prosperity in Chinese Culture, thus 2023 is predicted to
be a year of hope. The Rabbit of 2023 falls under the wood element,
with water as the complementary element. Since water helps wood
(trees) to grow, 2023 will be a strong wood year.
The Year of the Rabbit
represents peaceful and patient energy. The water element suggests
tapping into inner wisdom and trusting instincts. Together, the
Water Rabbit indicates focusing on relationships, diplomacy, and
building bridges in professional and personal relationships.
