Five Oxen and Five Cats

Happy Chinese New Year of the Ox!

On this special occasion, We, Zarathustra the Cat, reveal to the world the true version of the most famous Chinese painting at Tang dynasty period (618-907), Five Oxen by Han Huang, that appeared to be “Five Oxen and Five Cats”

Now We present it from the beginning of the scroll to the last cat|bull couple

And the last one, depicting an ox and a cat munching on grass thus showing the equality of all living beings on the Earth that not depend on how they look like

But also the say that the ox and the cat are giving themselves a satisfying scratch

Here is the whole view of the part with the oxen from the true version of the scroll
