Editor's note: Chinese New Year's Day falls this year on Feb 12, marking the start of the Year of the Ox. People born in the Year of the Ox are known for their diligence, dependability, strength, determination and honesty. Showing great patience and a desire to make progress, oxen can achieve their goals through consistent efforts.

The image of the ox is loved by people all over the world. Many countries have also launched Year of the Ox stamps with a variety of designs and patterns. Let's take a look.
