Cinyee Chiu,an artist from Taiwan,is always happy to try something new.Her amazing works won lots
of prizes.Among them,“24 Solar Terms(节气)” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather.It's the 24
solar terms.But not everyone knows them well.Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people
understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal.But these animals are not just animals.You can also
find seasonal fruits,vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes,water gets warm and fish start to swim around.So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol
of Start of Spring.Also,she drew spring vegetables,Chinese chives on the back of the fish.
White Dew(露珠) falls on about Sept.8th.It shows the beginning of the cool autumn.There are colorful
leaves and cooler nights at this time of a year.As the temperature falls,white dew is often seen on
the grass and trees at night.For White Dew,Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair.She
drew white spots(小圆点) on the raccoon to show dew.2
