what if i told you...?

what if i told you that i was not the person you thought you knew all these years? but an insignificant shadow, a fractured reflection of the one i have kept hidden for so long. what if i told you i was not made of honey-drops and sunflowers, but the result of the darkest incantations chanted, only meant for slaughter? what if i told you that the gold you see in my cracks isn't kintsugi* but the dead sunlight that ever dared to touch my unholy skin? what if i was not human?

what if i told you that i practice black magic and worship death, or that i watered dead plants and collected burnt pages? how i enjoy grief and suffering because that's what connects humans to what lies beyond this world that we think we know? what if the things i said were not exactly true and i am, in fact, all the monsters you complained to me about? what if that facade fades away with time and space? what if i had no heart, no mind, no soul?

what if i told you i was the nocturnal cats stalking desolate streets, or the ghostly memories that kill you every time you think about them? what about my silence - which isn't soft, but holds the potential to end human civilisation, or that my voice is the preserved, fossiled form of all those who stood up for what they knew was right and fought like starving lions for prey? what if i told you i saw the grim reaper* as someone more trustworthy than most people? what if i loved santa muerte* more than the beautiful brides my mother talks about?

what if i told you i was coloured glass but broken, that i was a legend but a cursed one? like a cruel creature full of anxiety, grief and anger. like angels falling from the skies to be the harshest demons, with no holy traces but absolute darkness. what if i told you i lived for burnt cathedrals, raging warriors, explosions, and the aftermath of wars? what if i was your darkest nightmare that it’s impossible for you to close your eyes at night and watch it unfold again and again?

what if i told you that i was not perfection, but rather the ruins and ashes of the roman forum*? how do i break the things that rejuvenate me, slit their throats on poetry sheets, and blame them for my ultimate collapses and failures? i am a stranded black hole, whispering words of witchcraft and deceit, sugar-coating it with stardust. what if i told you that you were the next collection in my museum of ruined artworks? what if i was the hell-fire, burning the earth, burning the homes of innocent mortals?

what if i told you i was the child of an eclipse and the scarlet moon? the constellations of the dead and the damned? that i sleep without closing my eyes, live without a beating heart? what if i told you that i look at the glowing ghosts of radium girls* every time i talked about the toxic blood that runs in my veins, that i hear their radioactive cries every time i looked in the mirror? what if i was made out of that their ultraviolet skins, their radium, and even, polonium?

what if i told you my heart was losing all the starlight to become a dormant piece of greatness, seizing to revolve or rotate, seizing to radiate? i handpick sufferings, weave them into ornaments, and wear them around just for aesthetics and poetry. what if i was the broken ceramic cups they left littered all over the tea table, after drinking honey tea from the same? or, how i am the broken wine bottles on grim alleys that once used to lead me home? what if i told you i was not the things you thought i was, rather all the things you believed were the opposite of me? what if i was never me?

A brief history of colors and some popular pigments

Black pigment

Black pigment has a long history, starting with charcoal paintings in Stone Age caves. Through centuries of research, people have known how to change the burning conditions and choose the type of wood to customize the shade of this black. Coal can be pressed into a dry bar, or it can be ground into a powder and mixed with water or other liquids to produce the black dye that is now known as carbon black, with the pigment code PBk 7.

During the renaissance, artists often worked with black obtained from the soot of oil lamps, known as lamp black pigment – PBk 6. This pigment has a matte black color with a slightly cool tint. The lamp black is also used in Egyptian tombs and murals, replacing charcoal, which is denser but less pure.

Ivory black or bone black was originally created by boiling the crumbs obtained during the ivory making process to remove fat and gelatine, then ground and concentrated into a harder and coarser form to produce black. The production of ivory pigments was stopped in the 1930s, and today the pigment is mainly made from animal bones, with the color index name PBk 9. This pigment is semi-transparent, has a tinting strength is lower than that of carbon-based black pigments, but has a unique feature of deep yellow or brown undertones.

PBk 11 is an inorganic iron oxide pigment, which is different from all the black pigments mentioned above because there is no carbon in the composition. PBk 11 has a very high color fastness and is almost indestructible. In a mixture of colors, it can easily overwhelm all other colors. PBK 11 is also known as Mars black, named after Mars, the god of war in Greek mythology.

white pigment

The first white substance in history is thought to be natural calcium carbonate chalk, which is an exceptionally soft limestone, formed from the shells and bones of microscopic organisms deposited and compacted over millions of years. The calcium carbonate (CaCO3) that gives the white color can also be obtained from eggshells, oyster shells, ... In European literature, the term "shell white" is often used to refer to these ancient whites. Natural white pigment with calcium carbonate composition is still used to this day, has the pigment code PW 18.

The first synthetic white pigment produced on a commercial scale was lead white (PW 1), which dates back to around 300 BC. Despite its proven toxicity, white lead remained in widespread use until the late 19th century, when the superior zinc white and titanium white appeared and replaced it. There are many documents detailing how to make white lead. In the oldest process, lead rods were exposed to vinegar fumes in sealed clay pots. These pots were buried in manure or tree bark to maintain the temperature for several months so that the lead converted to white lead.

Zinc white (PW 4) with zinc oxide composition (ZnO) is produced by burning zinc in an oxidizing medium or zinc ore in a reducing medium. This pigment has the special property of being able to emit yellow fluorescence under long-wave ultraviolet light. Zinc whites are not toxic, nor are they as clearly affected by hydrogen sulfide as lead whites, but their whiteness is clearly inferior.

In 1908 in New York, a metallurgist named Auguste Rossi invented a brilliant white pigment, titanium dioxide (Titanium White - PW 6). This pigment is extremely stable, it is not affected by heat, dilute acids or alkalis, light or hydrogen sulfide. Most importantly, titanium white reflects about 97% of light, making it the best white ever known. Because of that, it quickly became popular in many fields. Titanium dioxide also provides UV absorption, which greatly improves weather resistance and durability for outdoor applications.

The chemical classification of titanium dioxide, which for many years was considered no problem, is even widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, they have become the subject of heated discussion over the past few years, when a European Union authority has changed the way they are classified and evaluated. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm are considered hazardous when inhaled.

Before titanium white appeared, the dominance in the segment belonged to Lithopone white (PW 5). They once accounted for 60% of the white pigment market, outperforming both lead white and zinc white combined. Lithopone is moderately strong in blends, not as strong as Titanium white, but not as gentle as Zinc white either. For those who are concerned about the durability of zinc white, but don't like the opacity of titanium white, PW 5 can be a good alternative.

Red pigment

Red is a color associated with love, excitement, and danger. This color also symbolizes good luck in many Eastern cultures. There are many red pigments that have been found and present in the pigment database.

The earliest red pigment discovered by mankind was red ocher, which is clay that has been colored by rusted (oxidized) iron. The red iron oxide pigment consists of the mineral hematite with some minor minerals such as clay, chalk and quartz. Red ocher differs from yellow ocher and brown ocher in that they do not contain H2O in their chemical structure. Today, synthetic iron oxide red pigments have the pigment code PR 101. They are chemically very similar to natural red iron oxide (PR 102), but transparent and more vibrant in color.

Lead red (minium) is an ancient pigment that is considered to be one of the first synthetic man-made pigments. Red lead is made by heating white lead to oxidize it at high temperatures. They are still used to this day, in anti-rust paints for steel structures, especially used a lot on ships.

The famous Chinese red color dating back to the fourth century BC is “Chusha” (Cinnabar), which is used to make paints, lacquers, ceramic glazes and calligraphy ink. Many people mistakenly believe that cinnabar is a plant because it is also a medicine in traditional medicine, but in fact, cinnabar is a mineral with the main component mercury sulfide (HgS). Artificial cinnabar, used by the Romans since the Middle Ages. This pigment is named Vermillion, has a color index name PR 106. Vermillion is much more vibrant than natural cinnabar, but both are quite toxic.

Besides the red pigments obtained from minerals, history also records some organic red pigments obtained from plants such as kermes tree, brazilwood or some palm species in Asia. The Incas also had their own red pigment for dyeing their robes, obtained from the Cochineal - a beetle that feeds on cactus.

The age-old reds made from lead and mercury, though toxic, have been commonly used throughout human history. The real alternatives have only appeared for more than a century, with the development of modern chemistry.

Red Cadmium (PR 108) is a dual product of zinc ore. PR 108 can include many different shades of red, for example Cadmium Red Light leans more towards orange, while Cadmium Red Deep is slightly maroon.

Naphthol red pigments PR 5, PR 9, PR 112, PR 170 and PR 188 are a large group of synthetic organic red pigments. While PR 5 can serve as the primary, medium-tone red in the palette, PR 9 is more of an orange hue. PR112 has a soft bright orange color, PR 170 includes Naphthol Red Light with an orange-red color and Naphthol Red Deep leaning towards purple.

Alizarin Crimson (PR 83) has a deep, cold red color and has high tinting intensity. Mixing PR 83 with Viridian Blue (PG 18) or Phthalo Blue (PG 7) creates a very deep black. PR 122 – Quinacridone Magenta is a vibrant red with a blue tint that makes them almost purple. The same Quinacridone family also has a red color PR 202 which is a bit greener than PR 122, PR 206 - Quinacridone Maroon has a red color that turns brown, while PR 207 - Quinacridone Scarlet is bright coral red.

Yellow pigment

Of all the pigment groups, yellow is the largest and most diverse because there are many substances in nature that can produce this color.

The oldest yellow pigment in prehistoric cave paintings, is yellow ocher, also crumbly clay colored by iron oxides. They are still in use today, with the pigment code PY 43 for natural yellow iron oxide and PY 42 for synthetic yellow ocher. Both natural ocher yellow and synthetics are both great colors in art, as they will produce very natural looking greens when mixed with blue pigments.

In early civilizations in Asia, Egypt and Greece, human used a yellow substance called Orpiment, which was synthesized by subliming a mixture of sulfur and a small amount of arsenic oxide. The Babylonians used Napoli yellow, which was prepared by heating a mixture of oxides of lead and antimony. Napoli yellow currently has a pigment code of PY 41.

Another well-known yellow is Indian yellow, which is said to be made from the bladder gravel of cows eating mango leaves. However, the original Indian yellow color dating from the 15th century no longer exists. Today's Indian yellow is Diarylide yellow (PY 83).

The 19th century saw the introduction of more modern inorganic pigments such as chromium yellow (lead chromate), cadmium gold (PY 35 and PY 37), nickel gold (PY 53 and PY 150), …

Some other yellow pigments include: Hansa yellow group (PY 3) with bright greenish yellow, PY 65 with deep yellow and PY 97 medium yellow, Barium Chromat lemon yellow (PY 31), Strontium chromate (PY32), cobalt yellow (PY 40), arylide yellow (PY73 and PY74), Isoindolinone yellow (PY 110), Diazo yellow (PY 128), Quinophthalone yellow (PY 138), Benzimidazolone yellow (PY 151, PY154 and PY 154). PY175), …

Blue pigment

Blue includes sky blue and navy blue which are very rare colors in nature. Less than a tenth of plants have this color, and in animals it's even rarer. Even if they're blue, it's not because they actually have a blue pigment, but they've actually done light tricks to achieve.

In plants, blue color is achieved by mixing or altering natural pigments, most commonly by altering the acidity on red anthocyanin pigments such as in canaries, bellflowers, and hydrangeas.

Instead of mixing or changing pigment, the blue color in many animals is caused by structures on their bodies that are able to change the wavelength of light. For example, the Morpho butterfly is blue because the scales of its wings are ridged, causing light to bend, making the only wavelength of light it reflects is blue. The only exception in nature is the Obrina Olivewing butterfly, the only animal known to have a real blue pigment.

The raw material of mankind's first green pigment was "lapis lazuli", a precious stone originating from mines in Afghanistan. "Lapis" means "stone" in Latin, "lazuli" comes from the Persian word "lazuward", meaning "blue". The blue created from this stone is called Ultramarine Blue, is a most perfect pigment, with its qualities said to be unique and unsurpassable. The color index name PB 29 is assigned to both natural and synthetic Ultramarine blue pigments, but today's natural Ultramarine Blue is actually exhausted. Lapis lazuli contains sulfur anions held in an ordered lattice. These sulfur anions have charged particles that move from molecule to molecule, traveling along the surface, helping to create a spatial effect and a deep blue color.

The synthetic blue pigment Ultramarine was discovered in 1826 by the French chemist Jean-Baptiste Guimet. He made a pigment chemically identical to lapis lazuli, by heating kaolinite, sodium carbonate, and sulfur. Synthetic ultramarine usually has a warm red-blue color, which is even more vivid than natural ultramarine blue but is not as pure and has the same depth.

Lapis lazuli is very precious and expensive. Faced with the need for an available and affordable blue pigment, the Egyptians invented the world's first synthetic pigment: Egyptian blue. Calcium copper silicate is calcined at extremely high temperatures, producing a blue-green compound resembling glass. When ground into a powder and mixed with a binder, they create a pigment that persists over time.

Across the ocean, the ancient Maya also found their own color of blue: Maya blue. Scientists are all confused about the origin of this brilliant blue color. It was not until the 1960s that scientists were able to determine the origin of this pigment. It is made by mixing a rare clay (attapulgite or palygorskite) with a dye from a plant in the indigo family.

In 1704 in Berlin, the first modern pigment was accidentally discovered by a dye maker named Diesbach: Prussian Blue (PB 27), also known as Berlin blue. Pigments made from iron ferrocyanide quickly became popular, simply because they were much cheaper than the earlier blues.

Phthalocyanine dark blue was first sold commercially in 1935 under the trade name Monastral Blue or Phthalocynanine Blue. This is a transparent, highly pigmented and reliable blue pigment. PB 15 is divided into 2 types: PB 15:1 – Phthalocyanine Blue Red Shade is more red and warmer, while PB 15:3 – Phthalocyanine Green Shade has a shade closer to green.

Mangan blue (PB 33) is produced by heating a mixture of sodium sulfate, potassium permanganate and barium nitrate at high temperature. This pigment is inert, unaffected by light, heat, acids or alkalis. Manganese blue pigment has now been discontinued due to concerns about the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

The most common blue color is cobalt blue (cobalt aluminum oxide), which includes a range of pigments such as PB 28 which has a slightly greenish blue tint, PB 29 which is a bit darker, PB 35 which is sky blue, PB 36 is blue with a green tint, while PB 74 contains a little bit of red. Various cobalt minerals have been used since ancient times to color glass and ceramics, but the first synthetic cobalt blue pigment was discovered in 1802 by Louis Jacques Thénard. He discovered that the combination of cobalt oxide and aluminum oxide produced a highly stable blue pigment. Of all the blue pigments, cobalt blue is the only one with opacity.

It was not until 2009, more than two centuries after the last blue was discovered (cobalt blue), that humans found a new blue pigment, and also the last blue pigment up to the present time. It was YinMn Blue (PB 86), which was discovered by chance by a graduate student at Oregon State University. This pigment gets its name from the elements within it including Yttrium (Y), Indium (In) and Manganese (Mn).

Dig a Grave to Dig Out a Ghost - Chapter 44

Original Title: 挖坟挖出鬼

Genres: Drama, Horror, Mystery, Supernatural, Yaoi

This translation is based on multiple MTLs and my own limited knowledge of Chinese characters. If I have made any egregious mistakes, please let me know.

Chapter Index

Chapter 44

For the next few days, Lin Yan stayed at home and looked up various materials, including the Fengshui tomb bureau, the five elements of yin and yang, and the background of Xiao Yu's life during the era he was living. When he was free, he combed through the clues at hand with Xiao Yu and discussed them. He fished out a clue from an ancient book. The clue was that the reason why Xiao Yu didn't dare to trouble him during the time he ran away from home was entirely due to the torrential rain that turned the entire city into an isolated island.

The continuous rains for many days blocked the scorching summer sun. In May, the scorching sun emerged. Families put dogwoods on their doors to drive away insects and avoid filth. Yin things had nowhere to hide. The unbecoming wild ghosts were like beads of water on a fireplace. Their skin was roasted to a crisp, revealing a skeleton that was half rotten. Lin Yan went out to buy things at night, and when he passed through the dank wetlands, he was often frightened by the passing wild ghosts and had goosebumps.

Since being able to see ghosts, his life has turned into a real-life version of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio*.

*(T/N: 聊斋志异 or Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling is a collection of 104 Chinese tales, which were written more than 400 years ago. Songling includes stories that focus on the supernatural, haunted houses, and shape-shifters.)

After the sun returned, Xiao Yu's life wasn't easy. Every time Lin Yan went out under the scorching sun, when he came back, he saw that his face was blue, and he leaned on the sofa for a long time before he regained his senses. The end of the day was bitterly hot, and even though the curtains were tightly drawn to prevent a ray of sunlight from entering, the ghost was still uncomfortable holding his forehead, the resentment and chaos between his eyebrows resembling the scene of their first meeting.

Lin Yan was terrified. If someone wanted to take Xiao Yu by force, separating them right now was probably the most effective way.

It's a good thing that the weather was preventing that. Lin Yan felt that this was undoubtedly a good sign.

In addition, he was puzzled by the ancient tomb. He didn't think anything about it when he heard A-Yan talking about it before. Now, after reading the "Classic of Burial*", he deeply appreciated the meaning of the little Daoist priest's puzzled face. The site chosen for the burial mound was low-lying. A river system almost surrounded the cemetery. Seeing the water, the tomb was a big source of evil. It was easy to accumulate resentment and yin and cause corpse transformation. It was not even a place for mass burials. Add to that the strange plaques and the disappearing historical materials, Lin Yan suspected that Xiao Yu had offended some masters before his death. The ghost, however, could not remember how.

*(T/N: 葬经 is a now-lost book that centred on how the flow of qi to the appropriateness of a tomb's location was influential on the development of Fengshui.)

The cicadas screamed. After the stagnant water was evaporated by the sun, the whole city returned to its furnace-like original appearance. The asphalt road was scorching, and shoes stuck to it. Every pore was steaming vapour. After walking in the sun for a long time, every part of their skin was exposed. In the last week of the semester, Lin Yan held a sunshade umbrella and walked to the teaching building under the shade of the trees. He was too embarrassed to look up so he had to sneak around. He's a big man. What was with this motherly shade from the sun?

The only umbrella in the family that can block ultraviolet rays was left by his mother. A pink umbrella covered with small blue flowers.

Lin Yan felt like he was the walking embodiment of a stereotypical bottom.

It's really troublesome to take a ghost out in the summer. . . Lin Yan muttered. Xiao Yu was stuck to him, and it was cold, like he had a refrigerator with him. Thinking about the situation when he went out in the morning, he couldn't help but want to laugh. The ghost was in a bad mood and didn't want to get out of bed. Lin Yan coaxed and persuaded him. Lin Yan didn't want to be late and he became late did he drag the sunshade umbrella out of the closet and dragged Xiao Yu out.

Midsummer was a threshold for all yin things. Lin Yan's physique was the best shelter for that ghost. He didn't dare leave Xiao Yu at home alone.

A few girls in the same class came over and glanced at Lin Yan in surprise.

"The class president is afraid of getting tanned?" The girl sneered.

"I'm afraid of the rain." Lin Yan gritted his teeth and pinched Xiao Yu's waist.

A lot of people gathered in front of the examination hall. This was the last exam before the holidays. Students in the same major couldn't hold back their excitement for the upcoming holiday. They stood in front of the hall with books but the group wasn't concentrated. Groups of people gathered to discuss the results of staying up all night to study, and from time to time a shout of thirty minutes hailed, causing a burst of laughter.

The test was on the history of costumes with which he had an early grudge. The classroom was quiet early in the morning, except for the humming of the electric fan and the sound of heels hitting the ground as the exam proctor walked around. Lin Yan took a breath and scanned the test paper. The paper was full of various embroidery, threading needles, chickweed patterns, honeysuckle patterns, flowers from all four seasons. The necklines and cuffs were cut out separately, each one is almost the same, black and pressed down. Lin Yan rubbed his face vigorously, opened his eyes and looked at it again. It rang a bell but he just couldn't remember anything.

Xiao Yu leaned against the desk. The sunlight projected on his face through the blinds, and the slightly frowning profile of his face was smooth like a painting.

"Hey." Lin Yan tugged at Xiao Yu's cuff and squeezed out between his teeth, "Do me a favor."

Xiao Yu didn't even look at him and shook his head: "I won't help. It's disgraceful to cheat in the examination room."

Lin Yan was so angry that he wanted to smash the ghost into a ball and throw him out the window. He didn't dare to make a loud voice, and gestured with his lips: "Dude, I've been stuck with you all this time. How could I have time to study?" Seeing Xiao Yu's serious face, he reluctantly slid down the hand that was holding his cuff, and shook Xiao Yu's wrist gently, "I just need to pass or I'll have to retake it next semester. . ."

Before he finished speaking, a pretentious cough suddenly came from the front of the classroom. It was the proctor in high heels, who was clipping her nails with her legs crossed. Her bright red nails were like pointed boats.

"The student in the corner, answer your own questions. Don't talk."

Lin Yan immediately shrank back, but the ghost couldn't help laughing. He leaned on his desk and raised his eyebrows: "How will you thank me?"

"I'll make a ghost exorcism talisman worth 10 taels of silver. I'll reward you. You can go wherever you like." Lin Yan counterattacked rudely. Xiao Yu rolled up his sleeves and squinted at him: "I won't accompany you."

"It's not interesting to bargain for something so small." Lin Yan sat up angrily. Seeing that Xiao Yu had no intention of compromising, he whispered: "I'll kiss you when I get home, alright?"

"I didn't hear you." His handsome face came closer, and the bangs on his forehead rubbed against Lin Yan's face. He felt himself blushing, and he raised his voice: "I'll go home and kiss you! Do you hear me?"

The classroom was silent, and his voice was very clear. There was a burst of laughter in the examination room. Lin Yan's face was flushed red. The red nail proctor just paid attention to cutting her nails and didn't carefully observe the situation in the classroom. She knocked her knuckles on the table a few times with a dark face and said impatiently: "I heard that. If you want to flirt, go outside and do it. So much noise. Others are still taking exams."

After repeating this several times, Lin Yan didn't even have time to answer one question before he was asked to leave the examination room amidst a chorus of laughter because he had broken the rules of the examination room.

On the way to the professor's office, Lin Yan caught the ghost and pinched him hard. No matter how much he pinched him, he didn't feel relieved. For a good exam, if he didn't have time to review it, he was invited in public to flirt in the exam room and broke the bottom line of his more than 20 years of orderly life! All the students in the school were in the examination room, and the corridor was very quiet. Xiao Yu continued to come and pester him for some reason. The two of them pushed and shoved, and they didn't even notice when they reached the office door. Lin Yan threatened loudly, “You aren't allowed to sleep in the bed for a week!" Leaning on the wooden door with his back, who would have guessed that the door was open and couldn't bear the weight? He threw himself into the office, landing square on his butt, and his posture was particularly pitiful.

When he got up, Lin Yan saw two people in the room, with four eyes staring at him with an expression as if they were looking at a terrifying creature.

Among those shrivelled old men in suits was none other than Lin Yan, who was entangled with Xiao Yu. He caused a nightmare in the classroom and slapped the table domineeringly. I shouted in front of more than 100 people that I was irritated by you, feeling like I was about to cry in front of the costume history teacher.

Lin Yan wanted to cry but had no tears, and wished that 10,000 galloping grass-mud horses would trample Xiao Yu into the groundhog burrows on the grassland.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yan decided that no matter how difficult it was, he had to fight hard not to have to retake the exam. He stood up and patted the dirt off his body, and said carefully, "T-Teacher, I'm a student in your clothing history class. There was a misunderstanding in the examination room just now and I left before the exam was over."

The old man gave Lin Yan a once-over and said with a blank face that he had received a call from the proctor: "There are rules in the examination room. You're not allowed to talk to each other, you know?"

"I know." Lin Yan defended in a low voice, "I remembered something urgent. It has nothing to do with the exam. I wasn't discussing the exam questions, I really wasn't."

Just in time, before he missed his chance, Xiao Yu pinched the back of his neck maliciously. The itch caused him to shiver but he didn't dare to move.

The old man turned his gaze and looked at Lin Yan: "Student, you look familiar."

Lin Yan thought sheepishly and decided not to tell the embarrassing story of throwing the teacher's book, slapping the teacher's desk, and threatening him with force, so he bowed his head and pretended not to hear.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Isn't this Lin Yan? Why are you here and not in the exam?"

Lin Yan was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his head, only to realize that the person holding the cup on the other side of the desk was none other than the file folder professor who studied the history of the Ming Dynasty. His outer appearance was very shiny and imposing and he stared at him with squinted eyes filled with interest. This was humiliating, he lamented. Lin Yan sighed, wishing he could bury himself along with Xiao Yu in a groundhog burrow.

Lin Yan told the story of how he was kicked out. Of course, he didn't mention the part related to Xiao Yu, and he didn't dare to say that he hadn't studied, and even if he took this test, he wouldn't be able to answer anything. But the old man suddenly became interested in him after knowing that he was the one who had dropped the professor's incense burner, and said with a smile: "The exam is halfway through. It's too late to let you go back now. What should I do?"

"Just let me take a makeup exam. It's too much trouble to retake the exam next year in less than thirty minutes. . ." Lin Yan muttered.

The old clothing history teacher looked at the professor, a little embarrassed, Lin Yan looked at Professor File Folder for help. The professor was accustomed to all the outrageous behaviour of students in the examination room, plus he owed Lin Yan a favour, so he put in a few good words. The old man couldn't refute the professor's face, so he pondered for a while. He pointed to a brocade box on the table and said, "Here's another option. I'm going to give you a test question related to this class, and if you get it right, you'll be given a chance to take a make-up test."

"Before you came, I was discussing this with Professor Chen. This object isn't very researched. Let's talk about its name and use, and see if you are as good as the rumours."

The long box was printed with grey jacquard, which was very detailed. The lid of the box was set aside. The professor took out a piece of brocade-like thing from the inside and unfolded it carefully. Because of its age, the silk has been oxidized to a smokey yellow. The silk was embroidered with imperial golden silk, five colours of thread lining it. The embroidery is extremely delicate, emulating the style of the aristocracy. The brocade is less than a foot wide, but nearly a meter long. Lin Yan tested what it felt like. It was so thin that he could feel his fingerprints through the silk patterns. It was too wide for a belt and too narrow for a garment. He had never even seen such things in textbooks. Lin Yan wanted to hold it in his hand for a closer look, but Xiao Yu grabbed his arm.

"Don't touch it." Xiao Yu's expression was unnatural. "It's not clean."

Could it be used for hanging? It wasn't strong enough. Lin Yan withdrew his hand. He thought Xiao Yu meant that this thing was evil, but the ghost's expression was suddenly ambiguous. He looked like he wanted to either laugh or cry. The corners of his mouth twitched upwards several times. He moved to his ear and started muttering. Lin Yan shook his head after listening to him, staring at Xiao Yu in disbelief, but the ghost was very sure. He narrowed his thin eyes, explaining a bit more with a gung-ho expression.

"Have you thought about it?" The old man took a sip of tea.

Lin Yan pointed at the brocade box and said hesitantly, "It's a foot-binding cloth."

Professor File Folder poked the tabletop with a pen. He shook his head and said: "Tell me, what kind of fabric did women use to bind their feet in the Ming and Qing Dynasty?"

"Generally, white cotton or blue cloth was used. Women's feet were bound with a blade to cut the bottom of the foot. It rotted and healed, and rotted again. Cotton cloth doesn't hurt the skin. The indigo dye had the effect of promoting healing."

"And how is this object explained?" The professor continued.

"From the beginning of foot binding after every cloth replacement, the foot wrapping can't be removed. Years of old injuries, plus walking, sweating, and wrapping for several years, that smell. . ." Lin Yan touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly. "The Ming and Qing dynasties attach importance to women's feet to a perverted degree. When they marry, their husbands have to untie the foot-binding cloth, so they will wash their feet and change a cloth on the eve of their marriage. This is the case, so as not to smother the groom to death, this kind of cloth is incredibly expensive and thin. Ordinary people can't afford it, and a rich lady only uses it once in her life, and because of the rules, you can't wash it after having intercourse. After a hundred years of worms and rats, very few are preserved."

"There are also-- There are also rich families who specialise in this. The two curved lotus petals on the shoulders are also a kind of lustful affair. . ."

The two men in the office laughed together. The old costume history professor repeatedly praised the professor that he was really talented. The professor knocked on the desk and said that this child knows a lot of obscure things and has an air of cleverness, so let him take the make-up exam next semester. When the two were talking, Lin Yan kept staring at Xiao Yu. After leaving the office, he pulled him to find an empty classroom where he could talk easily. He locked the door, and stared at the ghost. "Tell me, how many concubines have you married?"

A pair of bow shoes, sapphire blue roots, embroidered with gold braids, red like lotus petals, holding a small glass of wine in your hand, while tilting your neck to gulp wine out of the cup. . . The games of rich families were a ridiculous affair. , while reading Confucian classics, he reads the book, page after page of prostitution, even debauchery is euphemistic under his decent face. What kind of story does he have? What kind of stories can he accept? Reality is never as clean and crisp as the imagination. What if, what if. Lin Yan pinched the palm of his hand. This is what happens when you fall in love with a person. Even the heart grows smaller.

Xiao Yu shook his head.

"What, did you go to the red-light district brothels every day?"

The ghost continued to shake his head.

"I don't believe you." Lin Yan gritted his teeth. He sat on the table and stared at Xiao Yu with his arms crossed. "Then you studied these things. . ."

"Jealous?" Xiao Yu put his hands on Lin Yan's sides, rubbing his lips against his face, tickling him.

"No."

"There are also silver settings, sex toys, and medicinal powder. Would you like to try them?" Xiao Yu teased him deliberately. He stretched his hand through the hem of his T-shirt and rubbed that small spot on his chest. Lin Yan didn't hold back his gasp. The expression on his face tensed up for a moment.

However, Xiao Yu got serious and straightened Lin Yan's t-shirt: "There's no one else. It's always been only you."

"You've only known me for a few days." Lin Yan muttered, leaning on Xiao Yu's shoulder and wrapping his fingers around his sash, feeling a little melancholy. "I don't know why, but I'm a little nervous when I think about going back there."

"I really want to see what your life is like, and I'm afraid that if you think about it, you'll go away and never come back." Lin Yan sighed, "I always have a bad feeling as if I'll see something I shouldn't see."

Xiao Yu's long soft hair draped down his forehead and swept Lin Yan's cheek. He kissed his earlobe Lin Yan raised his hand around his neck and said aggrieved: "Let's stay away. I'm afraid I'll feel bad when you leave."

The cicadas outside the window were making untimely noise, but the two people in the empty classroom were more tightly entangled.

On the fourth day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Yan packed up his things, sent the cat to his parents' house, and rushed to the Capital Airport with mixed feelings that he could not describe.

After passing the security check, there was still some time before boarding the plane. Lin Yan took Xiao Yu to wander around the duty-free shop. When there was no one around, he explained to him in a whisper what each item was for. This ghost from ancient times was unfamiliar with everything and never wanted to ask. Passing by a classical Chinese shop that lets foreigners pick up souvenirs, ink and wash scrolls and manuscripts of contemporary calligraphers. The paintings were green bamboo with tigers descending, mountains and rivers flowing gold. The maiden on the fan was reclining on a tree, as if the wind blows down. The price was staggeringly high. Xiao Yu's mouth held a contemptuous smile, his fingers running over a silk satin handkerchief. He simply snorted out a laugh.

Lin Yan sighed. This beautiful young man walked in a time of misery that does not belong to him, waist straighter than anyone, and more proud than anyone else.

Taking Xiao Yu out of the duty-free shop, just as he was about to find a restaurant for dinner, Lin Yan suddenly froze. Two people stood opposite him waving at him, one wearing dirty jeans and a striped T-shirt, the other wearing a blue cloth robe with a pale calf showing at the hem. Lin Yan opened his mouth in surprise. It was Yin Zhou and A-Yan. Why were they here?

“That ‘UV’ stands for ultraviolet radiation,” he explained. “The index, which runs from a low of 1 to a high of 11+, is a good indication of how quickly you can get a sunburn. The higher the number, the quicker the burn, so more precautions should be taken.”

The index, which is compiled by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is calculated on a next-day basis for dozens of cities across the United States. The EPA considers 6-7 on the UV index to be “high risk.”

To track your risk of skin damage, pay attention to the index and the time of day, not necessarily the temperature. “The highest sun angle, or strongest sun, happens midday, which is between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. for most places,” Sundgaard said. “But the high temperature of the day usually occurs between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. on a sunny day. You may be most uncomfortable from the heat at 5 p.m., when it’s 95 degrees, but the sun is actually stronger at 11 a.m. and you’ll burn more quickly then. You can burn nearly 1.5 times faster at 11 a.m. versus 5 p.m.”

Shield Your Skin: the Importance of Sun Protection

Swimwear necessitates sun protection for skin safety. Integrating sun protection into designs is vital for reducing UV damage. Prioritizing sun-protective features in swimwear is crucial for skin health during water activities.

Uncover the key importance of sun protection in swimwear preserving skin wellness outdoors.

Key Takeaways

Sun protection in swimwear is crucial for preventing skin damage and reducing the risk of skin cancer.

UPF ratings guide effective sun protection by indicating the fabric's UV protection level.

Choosing sun-protective swimwear with high UPF and essential features optimizes skin shield from UV rays.

Implementing comprehensive sun protection strategies is vital for minimizing sun exposure risks and skin issues.

Understanding Sun Protection Basics

Understanding Sun Protection Basics is essential for safeguarding your skin against harmful UV rays. Sun protection involves more than just wearing sunscreen; it encompasses a combination of strategies to shield your skin from the sun's damaging effects. One fundamental aspect is choosing the right sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) to block out a substantial portion of UVB rays. Additionally, it is vital to apply sunscreen generously and frequently, especially when engaging in water activities, as water can wash away the protective layer.

Furthermore, wearing protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and long-sleeved shirts, can provide an extra layer of defense against UV radiation. Seeking shade during peak sun hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., is another simple yet effective way to reduce sun exposure. Understanding the UV index and its implications on sun exposure levels can further guide your sun protection efforts. By incorporating these basic sun protection practices into your routine, you can lower your risk of sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer.

Risks of Sun Exposure in Swimwear

Exposure to the sun while wearing swimwear can greatly increase the risk of skin damage and sunburn due to the limited coverage provided by typical swim attire. The skin's exposure to harmful UV rays is heightened when wearing swimwear, leaving areas vulnerable to sunburn and long-term damage.

Prolonged sun exposure without protection can lead to issues such as vital aging, wrinkles, sunspots, and in severe cases, skin cancer. The delicate skin on the shoulders, back, chest, and stomach, which are often exposed while wearing swimwear, is particularly susceptible to sun damage. Even brief periods of sun exposure can add up over time, causing cumulative damage to the skin.

It is critical to be aware of the risks associated with sun exposure in swimwear and take necessary precautions to protect the skin. By understanding these risks, individuals can make informed decisions about sun protection and choose appropriate swimwear that offers adequate coverage and UV protection.

Key Features of Sun-Protective Swimwear

Effective sun-protective swimwear is designed with specialized fabrics and features to provide enhanced UV protection and minimize sun exposure risks. Sun-protective swimwear goes beyond regular swimsuits, offering additional benefits such as UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings, moisture-wicking properties, and durability against saltwater and chlorine. Here are key features to look for in sun-protective swimwear:

UPF Rating: Indicates the fabric's UV protection level. Shields skin from harmful UV rays.

Chlorine Resistance: Withstands damage from pool chemicals. Longer-lasting swimwear.

Quick-Drying: Dries rapidly after being in the water. Comfortable and prevents chafing.

Breathable Fabric: Allows airflow to keep you cool. Enhances overall comfort.

Flatlock Seams: Smooth seams that reduce skin irritation. Prevents chafing and rubbing.

When choosing sun-protective swimwear, prioritize these features to guarantee maximum protection and comfort during your time under the sun.

Tips for Maximizing Sun Protection

To guarantee thorough sun protection while enjoying outdoor activities, including swimming, it is important to implement effective strategies that go beyond sun-protective swimwear features. In addition to wearing sun-protective swimwear, there are several tips for maximizing sun protection.

To start, consider applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to any exposed skin, even when wearing sun-protective clothing. Reapply the sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Seek shade during peak sun hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., to reduce sun exposure.

Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses can also provide additional protection for your face and eyes. Remember to cover often-forgotten areas like the tops of your feet, ears, and the back of your neck. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially in hot weather, to help maintain healthy skin and aid in overall sun protection.

Importance of UPF Ratings in Swimwear

Understanding the significance of UPF ratings in swimwear is important for ensuring adequate sun protection during outdoor activities. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates how well a fabric protects your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays. The higher the UPF rating, the better the protection it offers. For example, a fabric with a UPF rating of 50 allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to pass through it, blocking 98% of the UV rays.

When choosing swimwear, opt for pieces with a high UPF rating to shield your skin effectively. This is especially vital for prolonged sun exposure, such as at the beach or during water sports. UPF-rated swimwear can provide an extra layer of defense against sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer.

Incorporating Sun Protection Into Your Swimwear Routine

Regularly incorporating sun protection measures into your swimwear routine is essential for safeguarding your skin against harmful UV rays during outdoor activities. Sun-protective swimwear with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings can offer an additional layer of defense, ensuring prolonged protection while enjoying water-based activities. When selecting sun-protective swimwear, consider factors such as UPF ratings, fabric composition, and design features to maximize sun protection. The table below summarizes key considerations for incorporating sun protection into your swimwear routine:

UPF Ratings: Look for UPF 50+ for excellent protection against UV rays. Minimizes sunburn and skin damage.

Fabric Composition: Choose tightly woven fabrics like nylon or polyester for better sun protection. Blocks harmful UV radiation effectively.

Design Features: Opt for swim shirts with long sleeves and high necklines for increased coverage. Shields more skin surface from sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Swimwear Alone Provide Sufficient Sun Protection?

Swimwear alone may not offer adequate sun protection due to fabric thickness, UV-reflective properties, and coverage. To enhance protection, consider UPF-rated swimwear, broad-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen for thorough defense against harmful UV rays.

Are There Specific Areas of the Body That Are More Prone to Sun Damage While Wearing Swimwear?

Certain areas such as the shoulders, back, and thighs are more prone to sun damage while wearing swimwear due to increased exposure. Using sunscreen generously and considering protective clothing for full coverage are important.

How Often Should Sun-Protective Swimwear Be Replaced?

Sun-protective swimwear should be replaced every 1-2 years, or sooner if it shows signs of wear like fading colors, stretched fabric, or reduced UPF levels. Regularly inspecting and updating swimwear guarantees continued sun protection.

Are There Any Alternatives to Sun-Protective Swimwear for Added Protection?

In seeking added protection beyond sun-protective swimwear, consider utilizing accessories like wide-brimmed hats, UV-protective sunglasses, and rash guards. These items can further shield your skin from harmful UV rays while enjoying outdoor activities.

How Does the Material of Swimwear Affect Its Sun Protection Capabilities?

The material of swimwear greatly impacts its sun protection capabilities. Fabrics like nylon, polyester, and spandex offer better UV protection. Tight weaves and dark colors also enhance sun shielding. Always check for UPF labels to make sure adequate protection in swimwear.

Conclusion

In summary, prioritizing sun protection in swimwear is vital for safeguarding the skin from harmful UV rays during water-based activities. By understanding the risks of sun exposure and incorporating key features of sun-protective swimwear, individuals can take proactive steps to minimize potential damage.

Utilizing swimwear with high UPF ratings and following tips for maximizing sun protection can help guarantee skin health is maintained while enjoying outdoor settings. It is essential to prioritize skin protection in swimwear routines to prevent long-term skin damage.
