The 24 Solar Terms: Rhythms of Heaven, Earth, and All Beings 天地蘊理節候藏 動靜萬物年歲惜 English by Anne Chan and Brett Chudá | Chinese by Cora Wang Pictures courtesy of The National Palace Museum
T
he four seasons tell us where we are in the story of our year, but did you know that within each one, there are six miniseasons that last 15 days each? At least as far back as 139 B.C., sages in China recorded a seasonal change each year beginning around February 4 and called it Spring Commences. This season is followed by Spring Showers, Insects Awaken, Spring Equinox, Bright and Clear, and Grain Rain. Summer, fall, and winter dance their intricate steps, too, which we’ll explore in this article, for a total of 24 solar terms. Each term is divided into three notable periods or pentads, of which there are 72. This ancient and sophisticated calculation of Earth’s circuit holds so much wisdom that Asian people who have long moved away from agricultural lifestyles still use it to optimize their diet and health and to mark important milestones. UNESCO’s Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage includes the ancient Chinese understanding of seasonal rhythms. No matter how modernized we become, our bodies will

STRAYING FROM THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH The Disobedient Prophet
先知背離神訓 神人一念之差 English by Eric Bess Translated by Anne Chan
T
he story of the disobedient prophet is told in the Bible in the book of 1 Kings. The story goes as follows: A man of God traveled from Judah to Bethel. God spoke through him and cursed an altar where King Jeroboam made an offering. Jeroboam ordered the man of God to be arrested, but Jeroboam’s hand shriveled up when he pointed to identify him. Jeroboam a sked the man of G od to pray to God to restore his hand. The man of God granted Jeroboam’s wish, and Jeroboam’s hand was restored. Then, Jeroboam invited him to eat and drink, but the man of God responded that God had commanded him to not eat and drink on this journey nor return home the way he came. An old prophet, who lived in Bethel, heard about what the man of God did and sought him out. The old prophet found the man of God sitting under an oak tree and invited him to eat and drink with him.
尚-李奧 · 傑洛姆（Jean-Léon Gérôme）是19世紀法國 傑出的學院派畫家，他的作品近年再次引起熱評。在《背 離神訓的先知》這幅畫中，傑洛姆為我們重現了《聖經． 列王記 上》的場景以及他的創作過程。 這幅畫作所描繪的《聖經》故事背景大意是： 一位神人從猶大來到了伯特利，那時以色列王耶羅 波安一世（Jeroboam I）正站在祭壇旁要燒香。神人 奉耶和華之命，向祭壇呼叫，耶羅波安王就從壇上指向 神人，並要求抓住他。此時，王指向神人的手就枯乾了， 再也無法彎回。耶羅波安王遂請神人為他禱告，求耶和 華的恩典讓他的手復原。於是神人向耶和華祈禱，王的 手就恢復了原樣。 王邀請神人一同進餐，但神人說，耶和華囑咐過他： 既不可在伯特利吃飯喝水，也不可從其原路返回。 伯特利的一位老先知聽聞了這位神人的故事，動身 去尋找他。老先知遇到神人坐在橡樹下，就邀請他一起 進餐。神人又重複了一遍耶和華的囑咐。老先知謊稱， 耶和華也和他說了話，命他帶神人回家吃飯喝水。神人 聽信了老先知的話，就和他一起回去了。

AN INSPIRING JOURNEY In July 1999, the lives of millions of Chinese citizens, including this ordinary family, changed forever. The Chinese regime began the persecution of Falun Gong. Fuyao’s father was arrested, publicly humiliated, and sent to a labor camp. Her mother was fired from her job and placed under house arrest. She and Fuyao were confined to a small, one-bedroom apartment in the school where she used to teach. They were banned from going to grocery stores and allowed to shower only once a month. The situation went from bad to worse when Huijuan was forced to f lee the city, leaving Fuyao with her grandparents. For months Huijuan traveled the country, spreading the truth about Falun Gong until she was arrested. For the young Fuyao, this was all hard to comprehend. She went from being like every other kid to suddenly being parentless and ostracized by her peers. She didn’t understand—why was the practice that helped her father recover from hepatitis suddenly illegal, and why were good people like her parents being treated like criminals?

THE VIRTUE OF THE BRUSH IN A TIME OF CHAOS 揮毫見真章—— 中國藝術家劉錫銅的書法之道
English by Catherine Yang Translated by Ada Tian Pictures courtesy of NTD Television

Top: Renowned calligrapher Liu Xitong was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party in his home country of China because he practiced the traditional spiritual discipline Falun Gong. This is his first large-scale work of art since he escaped to the United States two years ago. Left page: Calligrapher Liu Xitong’s work featured in NTD Television’s 2020 documentary When the Plague Arrives.
W
hen Liu Xitong was asked by a film crew to write four words in Chinese calligraphy, he agreed immediately, heartily, and for reasons the crew did not yet know. Once a famous calligrapher back home in China, Liu had since left the country where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecuted him for his faith. In doing so, he had set aside his art in his quest to pursue justice after he moved to the United States. On the day of the shoot, Liu and the documentary producers discussed the calligraphy scene as they prepared the set. The documentary When the Plague Arrives, produced by NTD Television, is about humanity at a crossroads during the turbulent times of the pandemic. In the film, historical events are shown in parallel with the present day. Epidemic diseases once threw ancient civilizations in both the East and West into disarray and not only brought death and mayhem but also cast a harsh light on those societies that no longer upheld human dignity. Liu would be writing a four-word Chinese idiom taken from the ancient Chinese text Four Books, in which philosopher Zhu Xi (1130–1200) translated the Analects of Confucius.
劉錫銅先生是中國著名的書法家，卻因中共以信仰為 由，遭受殘酷迫害，不得不逃離中國。在移居美國後， 他為了尋求正義、揭露迫害真相而擱置了自己熱愛的書 法藝術。 當新唐人電視台攝製組邀請他為紀錄片《大疫襲 來》（When the Plague Arrives）進行書法創作時， 他沒有一絲猶豫，便欣然同意。 當前全球疫情持續蔓延，人類正處在命運轉折點。 《大疫襲來》旨在從不同角度，探討人類處在這一動盪時 期背後的原因。在影片中，過往歷史事件與現實當下並 行展示。歷史上的幾次疾病大流行，曾使東西方的古代 文明陷入混亂，甚至人類歷史的軌跡因此而改變。 在影片中，劉錫銅先生書寫下了朱熹《論語集注》中 的名言：「 亂世至極，治世當立。」它的意思是「 當事情 變得極端混亂時，則必須恢復秩序。」 正是在那次拍攝後，劉錫銅先生向製片人分享了他 的故事。他的遭遇同其他 7 千萬以真、善、忍為修煉準 則的中國公民一樣，因為堅持自己的信仰，成為中共新 一輪迫害運動的目標。 混亂與邪惡的社會 劉錫銅先生講述了多年來曾遭受的殘酷迫害：「 我先後 被中共非法勞教3年，判刑4年。失去自由、失去研讀書 法創作的環境，承受了中共監獄警察、犯人的暴力歐打 │51

HEALTHY TRADITIONAL CHINESE DISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR 過年美味養生方 Chinese by Hu Naiwen Translated by Anne Chan Photos by Shutterstock
T
he New Year is around the corner, and no one can resist celebrating with a lavish spread of delicacies. However, too much greasy food might cause stomach pain and increase blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. The elderly should be extra cautious with greasy food.
過年時節，滿桌豐盛的菜餚總令人欲罷不能，但若吃太 多油膩食物，不僅容易腸胃不適，還可能讓血糖、血壓、 血脂上升，尤其是對於上了年紀的長輩，則需更加留心。 今天向大家介紹三道養生飲食——「 天下第一補血湯」、 「 防三高火鍋湯底 」、「 去油解膩茶」，讓年節大餐吃得 美味又健康！ 天下第一補血湯 補血還助消化 「 天下第一補血湯」是孫中山先生發明的，所以又稱作 「 中山四物湯」。 孫中山先生早年從醫。有一次，一個病人來醫院看 診，他跟病人說，除了吃藥以外，最重要的是補充身體 的營養。於是，他給了病人一個營養充沛的湯方。此湯方 使用的食材是——黃豆芽、豆腐、黑木耳和金針，也被 稱為「 四物湯 」。它確實有中醫藥方四物湯（ 當歸、白

物中的蛋白質、澱粉、脂肪等。古人用黃豆芽來利溼（ 排 除體內溼氣）、補脾胃。 豆腐：豆腐是用黃豆榨成豆漿，再用鹽滷或石膏的方式 點滷作成。豆腐是一種高蛋白質食物，是合成血液中紅 血球的重要成分之一，能幫助造血。吃素的人常把豆腐 作為主要的佐餐食物。

Top right: soybean sprouts; Top left: tofu; Bottom left: long yellow daylilies; Bottom right: black fungus.
I’d like to introduce three healthy and delicious dishes that counteract the effects of heavy holiday meals: the “unparalleled four-agents-decoction,” the “anti-three-hypers hotpot,” and a refreshing tea.
黑木耳：黑木耳是一項熱門的食材，它的特別之處在於 它生長在朽木上頭，可以吃掉朽木裡的髒東西，並將此 轉換為營養成分。同樣，黑木耳也能夠把我們身體裡不 好的東西帶走。除此之外，若能將黑木耳煮得爛熟，能 夠產生豐富的膠質。要注意的是，如果煮的時間不夠，
THE UNPARALLELED FOUR-AGENTS-DECOCTION The “unparallelled four-agents-decoction” (“si wu tang” in Chinese) was first made by Mr. Sun Yat-Sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. The origin explains its nickname: “Sun Yat-Sen’s Si Wu Tang.” In his early years as a doctor, Sun used to tell his patients that the most important treatment other than medicine is nutrition. He made an exclusive and nutritious recipe that contains four ingredients: soybean sprouts, tofu, black fungus, and long yellow daylilies. These can be found at many Asian grocery stores and cooked together into a soup or stew. Sun’s recipe improves digestion, preserves spleen-stomach harmony, and dispels waste and toxins from the body.
有可能會寒胃。等煮到膠質出來時，不但不寒胃，還能 夠保養胃腸。 金針：金針又稱萱草、黃花菜，有人認為喝了金針湯，就 可以忘掉很多憂煩，因此它也被稱作「 忘憂草」。還有 金針富含鐵質，具有補血功效。 補血燕麥粥 另外還有一個簡單的補血方子，即「 補血燕麥粥 」。以 燕麥為主要食材，燕麥裡含銅，它可以使鐵和血中最重 要的成分——氯化血紅素（Hemin）結合。該粥需要的 食材就是燕麥加上雞蛋、紅棗，以及深綠色青菜，最後 再加上切碎的牛肉，與燕麥一同煮。 這個處方我曾讓一位老先生吃，他的血紅素只有 6 到 7 之間，結果服用此粥 20 多天後，他的血紅素竟然達到 了 14，恢復正常指數（成年男性正常值為 13.8~ 18 g/dl）。
Soybean Sprouts: In ancient times, soybean sprouts were called yellow curls of soybeans. Soybeans grow when placed in water. The peel breaks down, and the roots grow long. The germ is rich in enzymes that help digest protein, starch, and fat. In the past, people used to eat soybean sprouts to expel internal dampness and strengthen the spleen-stomach.
防三高火鍋湯底 中國北方有一句話叫作「 冬吃蘿蔔夏吃薑，不勞先生開處 方 」，就是說冬天吃蘿蔔、夏天吃薑，不容易生病。關於 蘿蔔有很多方子。煮火鍋時，建議使用蘿蔔、玉米筍、 山藥、秋葵這四種食材煮成湯底，具控制血糖、血壓、 血脂「 三高 」的功效，湯底的味道略帶甘甜。 │57

pon stepping into this 3,000-square-foot flat in the luxurious Sky Oasis building in Macau, one is instantly filled with a sense of serenity. The space is designed to encourage meditative reflection and help residents achieve a state of zen. With a seamless fusion of Japanese aesthetics and modern Western touches, it is the embodiment of timeless luxury. The home was designed by Max Lam of Max Lam Designs, an award-winning, Hong Kong-based interior design studio. “The fundamental and ultimate goal of my design is to improve people’s way of living and interaction within the space they are in,” Lam said in a statement on his website. With this tranquil oasis, he certainly achieved that goal, providing residents with a meditative and fully engaging living experience.
走進這間位於澳門「 金峰・名匯 」3,000平方英尺的精 緻四房住宅空間，迎面而來的是一份源自天然木材的溫 暖。這種獨特的東方美，使人瞬間沉浸於寧靜之中，進 入「禪 」意之境。 這座住宅樣板房由屢獲殊榮的香港室內設計工作室 「Max Lam Designs」設計。 設計師 Max Lam 表示： 「 我最終的設計目標，是改善人們在所處空間內的生活 和互動方式。」 禪意之居 室內空間寬敞、流暢，設計師交替使用多種木材貫穿整 個空間，並混合搭配不同石材和古銅等自然建材，視覺 效果簡潔而細緻有序，營造了一個溫暖和身心放鬆的居 住空間。照明也是非常重要的設計因素，因為它可以將 「 生命的氣息注入空間 」。柔和、含蓄的照明加強了寧 靜和舒適感，亦為不同的功能區域營造不同的氛圍。 曲線優美的木製景觀臺，圍繞著質樸的陶瓷花瓶和 插花作品舒展開來，不僅增加了一抹「 禪 」的意境，同時
A HARMONIOUS MEDLEY Throughout the home, a medley of natural materials were used to create a warm and relaxing interior. The simplistic material palette includes stone, paper, three kinds of wood, and a dash of brass. Lam always makes sure to pay special attention to lighting, as it “breathes life into a space.”

LIVING YOUR INNER POET Hufeng Courtyard Villa 咫尺之內造乾坤 江南水鄉新中式別墅 English by Megan Wang | Translated by Ada Tian Photography by Gangqiang Liu, Shukai Xu
T
he region in China south of the Yangtze River is known for its breathtaking landscape. Jiang Nan, as it’s known, was a favorite subject of many acclaimed Chinese poets. Today, not only do people express a wish to read about the region’s stunning beauty in literature, some of us also hope to experience it right inside our own home. In the suburb of Hangzhou, China, a team of interior designers from GFD Interior undertook the challenge and in doing so, also brought forth the beauty and virtues of traditional Chinese culture.
「 山居之跡於寂也，市居之跡於喧也，惟園居在季孟間 耳。」——明代文學家、史學家王世貞《遊金陵諸園記》 王世貞認為，山居未免寂寞，市居過於喧鬧，唯園 居介於兩者之間。 隨著社會發展，文化、生活方式不斷改變，中國的 住宅與室內設計風格亦日趨紛繁與多樣化。然而，人們 對於蘊含中國傳統文化的中式設計仍有著深深的眷戀， 因為它包含著意蘊深厚的東方美學和人們嚮往的生活方 式，本質上契合了人們心靈深處的精神世界與歸屬感。 好的住宅設計既是物質生活的空間，亦是精神生活 的體現。「GFD 室內設計 」承接了這一挑戰，將傳統的 造園手法和意境運用至住宅設計，打造出具有中國傳統
DISCONNECT TO RECONNECT One such virtue is inner serenity. In ancient times, Chinese scholars meditated routinely in preparation for intensive learning. Like them, modern people perform best in many aspects of life when they maintain a calm, reflective spirit. Living inside this villa in Hangzhou naturally puts one in a tranquil state secluded from the bustle of modern society. In the courtyard, the plants flutter in the breeze, while streams of water flow down the rocky garden, forming ripples upon ripples in the pond. When guests or residents immerse themselves in this precious little ecosystem, they are better able to listen to their inner voice. The home’s interior also maintains a calming ambiance. The white marble wall in the living room resembles an ink drawing of some ethereal landscape, 66│
韻味的「 新中式 」現代居住空間。 遠離喧囂 歸於寧靜 坐落於中國杭州湘湖旅遊度假區的「 保億湖風雅園 」，建 築外觀粉牆黛瓦，古樸典雅，與水墨江南的地域氣質相 襯。建築面積253平方公尺，室外配有私人庭院，室內分 上下兩層，可供三代同堂的大家庭使用。 室外的中式庭院，疊山理水，樹木花草點綴其間， 可謂「 不出城廓而獲山水之怡，身居鬧市而得林泉之 趣 」。除給人帶來詩意盎然的生活情趣，置身於此，似 乎瞬間便遠離了現代社會的喧囂，使心靈歸於寧靜。 含蓄的中式意境 室內設計中延續了這種寧靜、淡泊的意境。設計師從水 墨山水畫中吸取靈感，整體色調以灰和白為主，局部搭 配的深色拉伸了空間層次感，作為點綴使用的古銅則提 升了空間的質感。
A prominent feature of traditional Chinese residences, the courtyard is more than its aesthetics. It provides the owners with a more intimate connection to nature without having to step out of the house. It also maximizes the home’s natural light. The rocky garden and rippling pond emulate a mini version of Southern China’s breathtaking landscape.

CHINESE NEW YEAR ELEGANCE We’ll soon be through the threshold of a new year when the golden ox will take the spotlight in the Chinese zodiac. You can pay homage to this ancient symbol during a Lunar New Year party, starting with your home’s entryway, a traditionally symbolic place in Chinese culture. Try bunches of gorgeous peonies and wintersweet flowers to usher in prosperity and good fortune. Turn the living room into a joyful site of festive conversation and timeless significance with fresh decor for the occasion: cushions, carpets, and red-rimmed tableware. Pour the tea in oriental style, serve a melon-seed snack, and stir old memories with new ones into a rich brew that won’t be forgotten. 在玄關佈置今年生肖——金牛，或者應景地插上牡丹、臘梅都好，一進門就 顯得年味十足。日常使用的沙發只要搭配富有年味的配件，如中國傳統圖 案的靠枕、地毯、紅色的邊桌，再擺上中國風的茶杯，嗑點瓜子配著茶，聊 聊過去也聊聊未來的展望。

new residential complex, 75 Kenmare is situated in the heart of NoLita, in Lower Manhattan. "NoLita," short for North of Little Italy, is an artsy historic neighborhood brimming with chic vintage shops and boutiques, enchanting restaurants, and art galleries. Designed by acclaimed New York architect Andre Kikoski, the building consists of 38 luxury apartment homes where f loor-to-ceiling glass windows soar to sophisticated heights. Lenny Kravitz Design helmed the interior design of the building. The rocker’s distinctive touch is luxurious and layered, the epitome of modern elegance. Kravitz incorporated NoLita’s unique charm and vitality into
the interiors of 75 Kenmare. A rich variety of materials mingle, such as gorgeous natural stone, textured metal, and solid oak. Kravitz’s disarming and inviting combinations further highlight the residence’s charisma. The building includes a comprehensive fitness center, a futuristic automated parking garage, and an interior landscaped courtyard. On top of the worldclass amenities, the penthouse apartment takes luxury to a new level, boasting a large private terrace. The couch and dining table as well as other furniture pieces were chosen from the collection of high-end French brand Ligne Roset, whose designs are bold and stylistic. Such choices further encapsulate the beauty of contemporary luxury in the apartment homes. “Compound Penthouse B” includes a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. It has a total interior area of 2,108 square feet. In addition, there are two private outdoor patios. One is 657 square feet and connects to the living room through floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. The other spans 493 square feet across the roof terrace above the living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors let natural light in, while neutral-tone oak f loors add warmth. The kitchen cabinets juxtapose matte white with elm and are paired with white marble countertops. Gaggenau appliances from Germany blend classic and modern tastes. In the master bedroom, warm, light tones prevail, while dark blue and green add richness and a soothing
visual hierarchy. Oversized custom windows provide a panoramic city view, while welcoming plenty of sunlight. At night, the atmosphere in the bedroom is quiet and private. The multi-sensory experience is heightened in the master bathroom, where a heated marble f loor and luxurious Italian Devon&Devon bathtub melt away weariness and tension. 此基礎上，延伸出特有的優雅與精緻感。內部設計融合 了大量豐富的建材，包括獨特的天然石材、不同紋理的 金屬和橡木。主要家具如沙發、餐桌等，均選用了法國 知名品牌 Ligne Roset，更添奢華的現代感。 頂層的「 複式公寓 B」室內總面積 2,108 平方英尺， 包括一個起居室，一個餐廳，一個廚房，三間臥室和兩 間半浴室。此外，室外還有兩個私人露臺：一個 657 平 方英尺，透過整面的落地門窗與起居室相連；另一個 493 平方英尺，位於起居室之上的屋頂露臺。 大 面 積 的 落 地 門 窗 將 自 然 光 線 引 入 室 內， 暖 色 的橡木地板更增添了一份家的溫馨。廚房的櫥櫃選用 啞光白色和榆木搭配白色大理石檯面，電器選用德國 Gaggenau，融合經典與現代。主臥內，在暖暖的淺色 基礎上，局部搭配了安靜的深藍與墨綠，視覺層次豐富 卻不跳脫；一旁訂製的超大窗戶將街巷風景盡攬眼底， 同時亦將溫暖柔和的陽光迎入，營造出臥房寧靜且私密 的氛圍。多重的感官體驗在主浴室得到延續，走過鋪設 了地暖的大理石地板，在奢美的意大利 Devon&Devon 浴缸中放鬆自己，一天的疲累煙消雲散。 網站：75kenmare.com 電話：212-221-7550 地址：75 Kenmare Street, New York, NY 10012 │79
