An annual zodiac exhibition that brings together three generations of woodcarving artists—senior, emerging, and young—to create miniature woodcarvings themed after the zodiac animal of the year. Each artist uses a different creative perspective to echo the beautiful traditions of "New Year greetings and prayers" and "discarding the old to welcome the new" in Taiwan's traditional lunar atmosphere, allowing visitors who come to the Sanyi Wood Sculpture Museum (三義木雕博物館) for Spring Festival outings to welcome a wonderful year through art appreciation.
