"Twenty-four solar terms" is the time pedigree of the lunar calendar invented by the ancient ancestors of the Chinese nation. It scientifically and accurately reflects the changes in natural rhythms. It is the most important basis for the production and life of the farming nation, contains a long cultural connotation and historical accumulation, was listed in UNESCO's representative works of human intangible cultural heritage.



This work is a fashion blockbuster made for "TRENDS", combining long-standing traditional culture and modern fashion, making each picture combine at least two solar terms and fashion items corresponding to the solar terms of the time, using fashionable and modern expression techniques. Subvert the cognition of traditional culture.



Excavated a large amount of traditional content of the twenty-four solar terms, combined with modern art forms from an international perspective, chose the traditional paper-cut craft, and added my innovative techniques and ideas, such as weaving, relief, with light/shadow and other materials, using the method I named "composite paper-cutting method" to create.



This work is expounding fashion with Chinese artistic conception.

For example, P1 is Qingming and Grain Rain. During Qingming, young people fly kites by the river, as recorded in Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, young people get to know each other by intertwining threads, like our current Twitter and ins, was the most fashionable way of socializing at that time.



P3 is Eargrass and Summer Solstice. The history of hats is a condensed history of human fashion. How women wore their hats can tell the living conditions of women at that time. The wide-brimmed hat was the most fashionable attire for working in the scorching summer.



P4 is Slight Heat and Great Heat. Chinese fan culture has a profound cultural heritage, and its forms and uses are diverse and profound. The delicate and exquisite image of this round fan complements the figures of Chinese women. When the round fan with thin handle lightly waved, far-away mountains and rolling clouds on the fan will bring the wind of five thousand years of Chinese culture, wiped the sweat from the beauty's forehead.
