In the ancient oriental legend, the peacock was bred by the phoenix, which is a kind of noble bird. Peacock is a symbol of good luck in China culture, and people think that being as proud as a peacock is a symbol of good luck.
When the male peacock slowly unfolds its tail screen and presents its natural beauty to people, it brings a double shock of vision and mind. Lang Shining, a court painter in the Qing Dynasty, once made artistic creations about the magnificent scenery of "Proud". His painting "Proud" shows the elegant posture and beautiful scenes in "Proud".

There are many detours in China's ancient famous painting series (triumphant) gold and silver commemorative coins, including the design of drawings and the production of reliefs. What is more difficult is the performance of peacock feathers. The original is a line similar to meticulous painting, and the level is very complicated, even making people feel mixed. How to deal with precious metal relief is a problem.
Because the scale of the coin surface is very small and there are many details to accommodate, it is easy to lose. Designer Bai Wenjun took a shortcut, concentrated on carving one of them, then copied it with oil paint and clay, and finally pasted it into the overall picture of the picture, and then made decorative adjustments on the plaster model, mainly including the overlapping of layers, the twists and turns of lines, and even the changes of feathers in different parts and directions, which finally formed a colorful visual experience of the original.
