Features: Peonies and chickens are commonly seen in people's lives. Peonies are the national flower, and chickens are domestic poultry. It is worth observing and sketching them daily, especially for the elderly, as painting after retirement can bring much joy. The combination of one flower and one bird in the same scene creates a dynamic and static harmony, with both emotion and scenery blending together, making the vivid and rich. For example, in a peony garden, a rooster crowing at dawn, a hen raising chicks, and chicks foraging for food. Traditional themes of peonies and chickens are extremely abundant, such as "Great Luck and Prosperity," "Wealth and Good Fortune," "More Luck and More Fortune," and so on.
