P001 → Harmony of Seasons 四时之书, Book
A bilingual book featuring original binding designed and crafted by myself. The left section adopts a scroll format referencing "dragon scale binding," while the right section comprises the main book with calendar inserts. This book serves as an introduction to the 24 solar terms, acting as a comprehensive lifestyle guide.
Part I. “Scroll”
The "Scroll" illustrations depict flowers symbolizing the solar terms. Hands are arranged in a circular formation to represent the progression of the solar terms; in each illustration, the hand indicates the direction of the Big Dipper corresponding to the respective solar term.
See P008 Blossoms in Time for illustration details.

Part II.I. “Mainbook”
Consider this book as your lifestyle guideline.
Each chapter of a solar term covers the phenology, things that are suitable to do, and things that are unsuitable to do during that solar term day. You may reference this book to adjust your daily routines, eat and behave to maintain your health, settle down, and follow the nature of the 24 solar terms cycle.

Part II.II. “Calendar Inserts”
The calendar inserts contain specific solar term dates for each year (e.g., 2025) and monthly calendar, making the book reusable: readers only need to purchase updated insert cards for the corresponding year. All other content in the book remains consistent across the years. The calendar follows a solar-term-based monthly system, drawing inspiration from the traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar and integrating it with the Solar Calendar to provide a bilingual experience.
