In paper-cut "Rooster holding a fish in the mouth;" and "Fish with a rooster head," the rooster is a metaphor for the sky and
of male nature; while the fish is for earth and female. That is their way of displaying the unity of heaven and earth, yin and yang, male and female in the language of art.
Paper-cut "Loving tiger", with 3 or 4 adorable baby tigers inside mother tiger's abdomen; or "Monkey eating cigarettes" showing cute baby monkeys inside mother monkey's abdomen; and a pair of birds with fledglings; etc., are also art forms expressing the theme of propagation through images of legendary animals.
