The Nine-Colored Deer originates from the mural painting in Cave 257 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China.
Covered with nine splendid colors, the Nine-Colored Deer symbolizes purity, beauty, and mystery. Its image is often associated with auspiciousness, happiness, and good wishes, embodying people’s aspirations and pursuits for a better life.
The Nine-Colored Deer lives in the mountains and forests, harmoniously coexisting with numerous creatures. Its image embodies the concept of harmonious coexistence between human and nature, reminding people to respect nature, protect the ecological environment, and live peacefully with all things in the natural world.
