Three little piggies feature prominently on the official Lunar New Year greeting card for President Tsai Ing-wen. The stacked piglets are not only a nod to the Year of the Pig, which begins in early February, they are also a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.

Spirals on the left and right of the card are a symbol of continuity. Designer Wu Yi-ting said she wanted to convey the message that “if the direction is correct, the path will continue ever forward; and with unity, the potential for great achievements is endless.”

The card and the envelop are both pink, which in an auspicious color in Chinese and Taiwanese culture.
