In many ceremonies of the emperor’s wedding, Ruyi and apples were used, implying auspiciousness and peace.

Gardenia, also known as scorpion, has a soft and elegant floral fragrance. “Snowflakes and ice flowers are cool and clear, and the deep part of the song bar is bright and spiritual.” Gardenia is white in color, and its six petals are like snowflakes. Therefore , the ancients often associated gardenia with snowflakes….

Her “Kaixiu color-mixing method” brought Kesi works to life. Lin Zhangxiu, who never married in her life, adopted a little girl, Lin Shangying’s grandmother Lin Qifeng. Sixteen-year-old Lin Qifeng is married. However, in the era of frequent wars, the husband had to leave his wife and go to the battlefield. Lin Qifeng cuts silk day after day, pinning her thoughts on her husband on every stitch and thread. The little girl next door looked at Lin Qifeng Kesi secretly, hoping that she would become her own mother, and finally got her wish. However, it was not until Lin Qifeng died that the little girl told Lin Qifeng a secret that had been hidden for decades, that is, Lin Qifeng’s husband had come to the old site to look for her after returning from the battlefield, but the little girl told Lin Qifeng Man, Lin Qifeng remarried, and this lying little girl is Lin Shangying’s mother, Lin Xuexin. Grandma Lin Qifeng didn’t blame Lin Xuexin, but passed the loom to her, hoping that one day she would be able to complete the double-sided tapestry. And Lin Shangying is not Lin Haishan’s biological mother.

Shu Rong tried to ask for help from the people around her, but she lacked the courage and was almost cornered. Fortunately, Yu Zao saw the clue. In the middle of the night, Shu Rong stays alone in the office to work overtime, but is harassed by her ex-boyfriend again. Shu Rong is terrified but doesn’t know how to resist. Fortunately, Yu Zazao appears in time to stun the assailant and save Shu Rong.

Kesi style is woven from a separate bobbin, making the method both technically demanding and time-consuming), in which the surface pattern of the fabric seems like having been carved by a knife, and then earns its name a “Kesi”.  Kesi is admired for its selected materials, gorgeous colors, and matchless workmanship. The tapestry is extremely detailed and exquisite, the pictorial designs of which are finely graded, taking on a three-dimensional appearance.

Love Shanghai, love the city and love Lujiazui!

Lujiazui is Shanghai’s glitzy financial district, known for futuristic skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower, with its lofty observation deck, and the needle-like Oriental Pearl TV Tower, home to the Shanghai Municipal History Museum.

The area is also noted for its luxe-hotel nightlife, with European fine dining, stylish bars and posh dance clubs offering panoramic views.

Lying on the east bank of Huangpu River and facing the Bund, Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone occupies 28 square kilometers (10.8 square miles) and is studded with around 100 high-rise buildings.

Many are landmark buildings of Shanghai, making the area a great place to experience the modern flavor of this metropolis.

Often called the ‘Wall Street of China’, Lujiazui is the largest financial zone in mainland China, with more than 400 banks and financial institutions from both home and abroad, including HSBC, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank.


In addition, it is home to the headquarters of over 70 international giants and about 5,000 companies engaged in trade, investment, and intermediary services. The sum of transactions in the Shanghai stock market ranks it the 2nd in the world only behind the New York Stock Exchange.

Since the reform and opening-up policy carried out in 1978, Shanghai has enjoyed a great economic boom, and Lujiazui is gradually becoming more widely known. However, few know the origin of the name (Lu Jia Zui in Chinese), which literally means Lu family dwelling on a mouth-shaped alluvial beach.

In fact, the name is associated with Lu Shen, a noted scholar of Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). After Lu retired, he lived on this land until his death. Today, you can still find Lu Shen’s calligraphy in Shanghai Museum. His former residence and family cemetery are located in this area.

In Lujiazui, the charm of the city as an international metropolis is unfolded to the largest degree. One can admire the modern skyscrapers along Binjiang Avenue as well as various buildings of different architectural styles across the Huangpu River.

The four tallest landmarks of the city – the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Shanghai Tower are constructed next to each other. When night comes, all the buildings are decorated with shining colorful lights, presenting a gorgeous scene before your eyes. The Bund, facing this financial zone across the river, is the most wonderful place to enjoy the night view.

Oriental Pearl Tower Oriental Pearl Tower, measuring 468 meters (1,536 feet) in height, has three viewing floors. An exhibition hall, demonstrating the history of the city, is at the base of the tower. The lower sphere has a viewing hall at a height of 90 meters (295 feet), providing a wonderful position to see the Bund and the graceful scenery along the Huangpu River. Visitors can also have a panoramic view of the whole city on the transparent observatory at 259 meters (850 feet) or the Capsule Sightseeing Floor at 351 meters (1,152 feet).

Jin Mao Tower Jin Mao Tower, with a height of 420.5 meters (1,380 feet), is also a good place to view the city. The superfast elevator takes only 45 seconds to take visitors from the basement to the viewing hall on the 88th floor, providing visitors magnificent metropolitan cityscapes along Huangpu River, and views of the distinctive rosy dawn and sunset.

Shanghai World Financial Center As the tallest flat-roof building in the world, it is 492 meters (1,614 feet) high with 101 stories. Sightseeing area occupies storeys from the 94th to the 100th floor. The viewing hall on the 100th floor is at a height of 474 meters (1,555 feet). The sightseeing bridge on the 97th floor seems to be constructed in the air. It would give you an illusion that you are wandering in the sky.

Shanghai Tower At present, it is the tallest building in China, measuring 632 meters (2,073 feet) in height. The exterior of the building spirals upward to the top with one degree twist per storey to reduce the wind effect.

On this day on the 5th February 2023 on the fifteenth day of Chinese lunar new year festival is the lantern festival or known as Chinese Valentine’s Day…. in which this painting is inspired by the Hangzhou West lake storytelling of the legend of the white snake…..

The early days, young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love. Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns were symbolic of good luck and hope…… Lantern Festival is one of the events they can go out and join in the celebration.

Love inscribed in poems

The other evidence of the Lantern Festival being Chinese Valentine’s Day is recorded in Chinese literature. In the thousands of ancient poems passed on from the Tang and Song dynasties, many depicted ardent love for their partners.

The festive atmosphere, the performances, and the moonlight jointly created the best time for a date.

The history of the festival could be traced back to the Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D.), and the celebrations were gradually enriched, expanded and settled in succeeding dynasties. But from the very beginning, lanterns have been an indispensable part of the day.
