On the ninth day of Chinese New Year is the Birthday of the Jade Emperor, so we usually set up offering table for him the night before, using a pair of sugar cane to tie on the sides of the table.
As you might have guessed: I love that illustration by Kang Wei!
ReplyDeleteBecause of the drawing style, and of course the large amount of turquoise colour :-)
It is a beautiful drawing. I love the simple lines that bring so much information. Of course, I love also the colour and knowing about the tradition!
DeletePostcrossing is a wonderful way of travelling and learning!
That drawing is stunning - it feels modern and traditional at the same time.
