24 Solar Terms (English-Chinese Edition): 24 Art Postcards Where Chinese Characters Come to Life

Each Solar Term Reimagined as a Single Character That Is Also a Picture — Tear-Out, Mailable, with QR Codes to Animated Versions and Bilingual Introductions
This is not a book about the solar terms, and it is not a plain set of blank postcards. It is a box of 24 postcards, each one printed with a single Chinese character for a solar term—but the character has been redesigned so that it is also a picture. You see the character for “Beginning of Spring” bloom like a flower, the character for “Great Heat” radiate warmth, the character for “White Dew” gather tiny drops. You can tear the cards out, keep the ones you love, or write on the back and send them. Each card carries a bilingual introduction to the solar term, and a QR code that shows you the animated version of the character. If you want a beautiful, tactile object that makes Chinese characters and the seasons feel alive—rather than read a text-heavy calendar book or send a generic postcard—this is it.

Detail

What if the passing of seasons could be held in your hand？

In 2016, China‘s “24 Solar Terms” was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This postcard collection is a celebration of that ancient wisdom — reimagined through the eyes of a modern designer.

Created by Guizhou-based designer Shi Changhong and his team at Shangxing Design, each of the 24 postcards transforms a solar term into a living piece of art. The Chinese characters don‘t just sit on the page — they breathe. They bloom like spring flowers, shimmer like summer heat, drift like autumn leaves, and settle like winter snow.

What makes this collection special？

Art That Moves
Each postcard features a solar term rendered as an expressive visual composition. The characters are designed to capture the essence of the season — not just its name, but its feeling. The series went viral in China, accumulating over 200 million views and earning coverage from CCTV, People‘s Daily, and China Daily-12-24.

Digital Meets Traditional
Scan the QR code on each card to watch an animated version of the artwork. The characters come alive — you‘ll hear the sounds of nature and watch the seasons unfold in motion-12-28.

Bilingual & Educational
Each postcard includes Chinese-English text explaining the solar term. It‘s a beautiful way to introduce Chinese culture and language to friends, family, or students abroad-12-26.

Premium Craftsmanship
Printed on high-quality specialty paper with careful attention to color and texture. The set comes in a beautifully designed box, making it a ready-to-give gift
