As the Year of the Horse draws near, the Yiwu International Trade City in east China's Zhejiang Province, the world's largest wholesale market for small commodities, is bustling with activity, with good luck posters, couplets, lanterns and red envelopes flying off the shelves.

In a store for festive decorations, Chinese character "Fu" posters incorporating horse elements attract buyers to stop and place orders. Unlike traditional flat "Fu" characters, the posters in the shop are mostly three-dimensional, with a prominent "Fu" character at the top and various horse designs below. Some are made from jacquard weaving, while others even have a gallop gait, showcasing great creativity.
Horse-themed refrigerator magnets are also popular among young people. On the wall of a shop, creative refrigerator magnets are displayed, including single-frame designs and sets of couplets which are good-looking in appearance and provide emotional value.
In a jewelry shop with Chinese red as the main color, a variety of horse-themed hair clips and headbands have drawn the attention of purchasers.
As 2025 comes to an end, the Year of the Horse will rule 2026, one of the most dynamic and spirited in the 12-animal Chinese zodiac cycle, representing strength, perseverance and unstoppable momentum.
