【About Lantern Festival/ Shangyuan Festival (元宵節/上元節)

Usually falling in February or early March on the Gregorian calendar, it marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations.As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

During the Lantern Festival, children go out at night carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns (猜燈謎). In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, and only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones.As below Ming Dynasty court paintings【明宪宗元宵行乐图】:

Chinese Lantern Festival

I thought of participating (at least in some way) in a well known Chinese tradition - celebration of the beginning of a New Year with lanterns of different shapes and forms (hanging, flying and floating ones, you name it). And since it is a Year of a Dragon and I'm in a JCA fanart era,.. you knew I had to draw my beloved Shendu)).

It is said that some lanterns bear symbols of good fortune on them while others may have riddles being hidden in their design.

"As a tradition of Chinese Lantern Festival, guessing lantern riddles is as important as eating dumplings on the day. The custom is a unique form of Chinese folk culture, showcasing people's good wishes for the new year and inspiring wisdom."

So, I had an idea to use a Sign of Fire from the second season of a show instead of traditional symbols, since Pan'ku Box was a puzzle to be solved and fire is an essential part of any existing lantern (and it is Shendu's elemental power, after all) )).

Hope you'll enjoy this picture, I had lots of fun working on it.

This is a mixed media art, you will find the part I drew in a traditional way under the cut. You can actually see how huge my eraser looks next to it, haha, but damn, do I love drawing miniatures.

Life in China #11

The downside of short holidays and festivals in China (Qingming, Labour Day etc.) is that you usually need to make up for them, so since I got Thursday and Friday off, I still had class on Sunday.

Chemistry behind Green Rice Ball,

Taste the Flavor of Spring

Qingtuan (Green rice balls) is a seasonal delicacy eaten during Qingming Festival, Cold Food Festival, and Ghost Festival in southern China. Made from glutinous rice mixed with wormwood juice, it features a green outer layer filled with sweet or savory fillings and steamed. The tradition dates back to the Zhou Dynasty, evolving from the practice of eating "qingjing rice" during the Cold Food Festival. Over time, the custom shifted to Qingming Festival, merging the two festivals. The distinctive aroma of qingtuan comes from wormwood, an Asian plant known for its strong fragrance, including compounds like α-thujene, eucalyptol, and camphor.

5SEC 567 - Chinese Festival Celebrations1, Bangkok, Thailand, October 2020

こちらはKian An Keng Shrine ศาลเจ้าเกียนอันเกงのそばのチャオプラヤー川の歩道の辺りです。毎年チャイニーズフェスティバルはいろんなところで行われていますが、このドラゴンを船の上でやっているのは初めて見ましたね。中国や香港でもドラゴンを見たりしましたがお祝い事とか、お祭りの時とか。季節的な時のこともあるのでしょうか。子供たちが笑顔で見ていたりするのはいいですよね。 — Kian An Keng Shrine ศาลเจ้าเกียนอันเกง 230 Thetsaban Sai 1 Rd, Wat Kanlaya, Thon Buri, Bangkok 10600 https://maps.app.goo.gl/fczmN64JFkwf48tV8 — My life event in the world.

随感 #7 (Random Thoughts #7)

端午节快乐！在新西兰是6月22日（农历5月5日），所以我想先祝大家端午节快乐 😁

我的家人吃粽子，但在我住的地方非常难买，所以今年我不吃粽子，很可惜...

但无论在哪里，我还想祝大家端午节快乐，希望今天度过愉快的一天 😊

Happy Dragon Boat Festival. It's the 22nd of June in NZ (5th day of the 5th month according to the lunar calendar) so I wanted to greet everyone first.

My family usually eat zong zi but because where I live in NZ is hard to buy them, I don't have any this year. It's a bit of a shame because it's a traditional thing to eat on this day.

Regardless, no matter where you are, I want to wish you a Happy Dragon Boat festival and I hope you have a great day today.
