During the Spring Festival, at Gongqing 430 Residence in Fuxing Island, artists added a touch of "Fu" (blessing) to the snake, creating amazing graffiti works that you definitely don't want to miss while strolling around!

SHEEP - Fortune and Prosperity in the World

This piece draws inspiration from traditional paper-cut window decorations. In the New Year, the snake in the shape of a gourd becomes the visual focal point, winding and moving gracefully. "Fortune and prosperity" (the homophonic phrase of "gourd" in Chinese) conveys a beautiful blessing.

The paper-cut style lines and patterns outline a traditional charm. The concept of a round sky and square earth reflects the ancients' understanding and philosophical thinking about the world. The rich use of colors, such as the passionate red and bright yellow, enhances the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

By innovatively presenting traditional paper-cut art in the form of street graffiti on urban building walls, this work not only adds a joyful and auspicious vibe to the New Year but also revitalizes traditional culture in modern urban spaces.

The work is themed around the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, prompting a deeper exploration of Chinese cultural design beyond just colors and lines.

The snake on the right is made of crystal, representing "earth" with its unique and mysterious translucent quality formed by the high temperatures of the Earth's crust.

It is not just a wall decoration but a bridge connecting the past and the present, allowing people to experience a sense of nostalgia and fun in the fast-paced modern life.

Shier - The Golden Snake's Auspicious Presence

The golden snake is a symbol of deep cultural significance. It is not only a mythical auspicious snake in ancient Chinese legends but also represents good fortune, wealth, and prosperity. In the modern society, the golden snake remains a cherished and preserved cultural icon. From being a divine messenger in mythological tales to a symbol of wealth, the image of the golden snake is always associated with beauty and mystery. Whether in the cultural temple fairs of Beizhen or the Spring Festival activities at the History Museum of Hulun Buir, the profound cultural heritage of the golden snake and people's aspirations for a better life are evident.
