二十四節氣 24 Solar Terms

A personal project in 2014. I designed and illustrated animals for the traditional East Asian 24 solar terms.

For each term, I merged the featured vegetable or fruit, or the special environmental changes of that weather into the animal.

Not all the terms has a related animal, and usually several terms share the same vegetables. I tried to select and arrange them for better design and visual diversity.

立夏

Lixia (Start of Summer) | Asparagus; peach.

• 螻蟈鳴：「ㄌㄡˊ　ㄍㄨㄛ」，古時稱青蛙為「螻蟈」。
• 蚯蚓出：蚯蚓，即地龍也。
• 王瓜生：葫蘆科，多年生蔓草，生於原野間；根呈塊狀，味如山藥；花期夏季，果熟期10月。

青蛙ｘ蘆筍ｘ艷色ｘ豬腳麵

立夏表示夏天正式開始，雨水變多。春天所播種的植物至此時皆漸漸長大，大地開始進入萬物生長茂盛的階段。設計圖面以青蛙為夏天代表動物，融入當季盛產的蔬果蘆筍元素，以鮮艷大膽的用色呈現初夏之美。

Start of Summer signifies the official start of summer and rain increase even more. Plants sowed in spring are gradually growing up at this time and the land is entering the phase that all creatures are growing and flourishing.

The design uses frog to represent animals of summer with elements of asparagus, an abundant seasonal vegetable, and bright and bold colors to display the beauty of early summer.

（身體上）芒果熟度正好，感覺很好吃~

超級喜歡這個圖中圖—豬腳麵(Pig Trotter Vermicelli)，各種含意上。

台灣的習俗中，出嫁的女兒要在『立夏』這天準備豬腳麵線給娘家的父親吃，俗稱：「立夏要補老爸」，這是代表嫁出去的女兒的一種孝思。
