My friend bought me this stamp from vending machine today.
Many old Taiwanese have special emotion to Bubalus because Bubalus helped them to do farm work.
Some of them in order to show their appreciation for Bubalus, they and their later generations never eat beef.
In our customs, we use 12 animals symbolizing the Twelve Branches to designate years (according to lunar calendar).
The 12 animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar.
It will repeat after 12 years.
This year is Ox Year so I guess it was printed this year.
