What's the implication of riding a cowherd?

The boy riding a cow is a traditional theme of China art, whether it is wood carving, jade carving or painting, it is a favorite theme of artists. Riding a Cow Boy is meaningless in itself, just because it can remind people of the scene of "Where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village" in Du Fu's poem, and expresses the yearning and sustenance for a beautiful and quiet life.
