歷久彌新
從古代至近代，從近世紀至今日，每一段歲月裡都有無可取代的風貌。期間，我們能看見 傳承，也能看見奠基於此的創新智慧；時代，因與久遠的記憶產生連結，變得更加堅韌而 富有生命力。 當我們重溫自唐朝伊始慶的中秋之祭，品味膾炙人口的詩句和優美的傳說之際，暫時忘卻 紛擾世事，與家人品茗、分享月餅及當季鮮果，靜思傳統文化對人們生活的影響，咀嚼那 經典詩句和古老傳說中的深刻內涵。 紐約中央公園猶如曼哈頓島上的翠綠寶石，它不僅提供人們休憩的場所，也滿足人們回歸 自然的渴望。公園內美麗的景致，有著獨特的象徵意義，它還是「 美國景觀設計之父 」弗 雷德里克．奧姆斯德（Frederick Law Olmsted）200年前的夢想——在奴隸制度廢除 後，為人們創造一塊人人皆可共享的空間，無分種族、階級。讓我們一同回望這位改變美 國當代地景的傳奇人物，他的設計理念與遠景，至今仍替人們的生活帶來美好。 在電子數位化的時代下，仍堅持用筆書寫的人已寥寥無幾，怎還有人寧可破產，也要推廣 史賓賽英文書法（Spencerian script）？他是推廣美國書寫體的大師級人物——邁克． 索爾（Michael Sull），在其義無反顧的執念中，我們學習到他對文化承傳的堅持，對責 任承諾的擔當。 擁有256年歷史的巴卡拉（Baccarat）水晶，華麗優雅，璀璨明豔。巴卡拉在保有傳統精 湛工藝的基礎上不斷創新突破，至今仍然是水晶製品界的翹楚。今年秋季，它又將帶給我 們什麼樣的驚喜？ 波士頓的室內設計師Nina Farmer，其專長是為歷史建築注入新生命力，看她如何透過巧 思與設計，讓一棟19世紀英式風格的宅邸，既保持房子原有風格，又與當代的舒適和設計 元素融為一體。 本期開始增添「 健康養身 」欄目，以中醫養生為主題。中醫，乃中和之道，承傳數千年的 智慧，非三言兩語能道盡。我們將精選話題，與各位分享此一珍貴的養生妙道，祝願各位 健康平安地度過2020年。

s in any trade or art form, the market is f looded with products that span a wide range of quality. Occasionally, someone comes along who masters his craft at a level that raises our standards of beauty and technical perfection. Jason Kim is such a master. He has introduced a new level of excellence to his field. Little is known to the public about the art form he has mastered to perfection as a certified dental technician, yet he is the artist behind some of the most beautiful celebrity smiles in the world. We often assume that it is the dentist who takes center stage when it comes to smile makeovers, when it is actually the teamwork between the dentist and ceramist that creates superior aesthetic results. It is the ceramist who designs and makes the final veneers. In essence, the ceramist is the architect and designer of the smile.
任何藝術形式和貿易市場上，總是充斥著良莠不齊的選 擇，然而每隔一段時間，總會出現一位技藝精湛的大師， 他的出現，提高了我們感知卓越與美麗的評判標準，帶 領我們進入一個嶄新而出色的境界。金政道（Jason J. Kim）就是如此特殊的存在。 一般人只知道他是近乎完美的認證牙科技師，但他 卻是打造那些名流人士美麗微笑的藝術家。我們通常會 以為，牙醫才是創造美好微笑的關鍵角色，其實這是牙 醫與瓷牙技師共同合作，才得以締造的卓越成果。由瓷 牙技師負責設計、創造瓷牙貼片，從這一點上來看，瓷 牙技師即「 微笑 」的建築師與創造者。 令我們慶幸的是，不透明的牙貼與讓人遙想的樹酯 材質已成為過去式，當代的瓷製牙貼更加薄透，擁有適 應自然光線的半透明效果。而金政道就是其中一位改變 瓷牙貼效果的先驅者。如今，打造無數美麗笑容的他， 已成為業界傳奇，並透過特殊瓷質混合打造的藝術性與 頂級技術而為人所著稱，他的成就已是業界的新指標。

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL A Time of Family Reunions and Divine Blessings 月懷中秋 尋道其中 English text by Megan Wang Chinese text by Janet Ma
A
brilliant full moon adorns the boundless sky as households gather with their families. They laugh and talk, savor mooncakes with tea, and every so often, gaze up to marvel at the beauty of the moon while relishing the joy of their rare reunions. Still a widely celebrated holiday in much of Asia, the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on every 15th of the 8th lunar month, traces back thousands of years and provides an opportunity for us to peek inside the rich heritage of Chinese culture.
年分四時，月行朔望。仲秋月圓之日，在八月十五，唐 代以後稱為中秋。《禮記 • 保傅》中有「 三代之禮，天子 春朝朝日，秋暮夕月，所以明有敬也。」 （ 《大戴禮記》 ） 之語，「 夕月 」即祭月。自古以來，皇帝遵循天象，有祭 祀天地日月的禮儀。中秋因來源於「 夕月 」，所以也叫 「 月夕 」。 人間繁華 當天地星河秩序井然地行至中秋這一天，正是風清雲淡， 夏蟲息聲之時，人們抬起頭，看見一輪圓月，如約高懸長 空，都會感歎造物的莊嚴神奇。因此，中秋之日不獨天子
DIVINELY INSPIRED TRADITION Like many other traditional Chinese events, the Mid-Autumn Festival owes its origin to the ancients’ keen celestial observations and more importantly, reverence for the heavens. Emperors in the past were known by the title “Tian Zi,”which literally translates to “Son of Heaven,” signifying their responsibility in carrying out the divine mandate. According to The Book of Rites by Dai De, to receive guidance and blessings, emperors from as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE) set aside specific days to host solemn worship of the sun and moon in the spring and the fall, respectively. As this tradition persisted through the changing dynasties, it has since inspired noble families and
夕月，世家大族也會致祭宗祠，至於民間，則家家戶戶必 祭月、賞月。 明朝劉侗《帝京景物略》中載，「 八月十五日祭月， 其祭果餅必圓，分瓜必牙錯瓣刻之，如蓮華。」用來祭 祀月亮的糕餅要做成圓形，西瓜要一瓣一瓣的刻成蓮花 的形狀。清代《燕京歲時記》中記載，皇家祭月常用九節 藕，民間多用西瓜。中秋之夜，人們在自家院落中月亮 升起的方向設月光位，陳設各式瓜果供品，闔家女眷， 向月而拜。 臨近中秋，市肆商販便相繼整絡門面，結綵樓、花

宴饗，尋常百姓則爭占酒樓高臺，備丹桂、石榴、孛萄、 梨、棗、栗、橘等新熟之果。是夜，風清月白，月華如 洗，人間燈火，如星墜地。一輪圓月，映照著人間繁華。 家家開筵，處處明燈，喧鬧之聲遍耳，絲竹之音繚繞， 若是靠近皇宮，還可隱隱聽到內庭傳出的笙竽管弦，飄 渺宛自天外。樂聲間或被人聲打亂，是某處又得一樂事。

The Chrysanthemum: Symbol of Strength and Resilience 華夏之菊蘊無窮
English text by Angela Feng | Chinese text by Cora Wang Pictures courtesy of the National Palace Museum
A
s the chill of autumn sets in, trees begin to lose their vibrancy, and plants begin to wilt. However, one particular f lower prevails—the chrysanthemum. While its surroundings fade away, defeated by the frigid winds, this resilient flower starts to bloom. Since ancient times, the chrysanthemum has been admired by Chinese scholars and literati, inspiring countless poems, stories, and artworks. Besides praising it for its beauty, they celebrated it as a symbol of vitality and tenacity.
入秋後，草木逐漸凋零，唯菊花不畏霜寒而綻，不似那 一夜春雨就打落的嬌嫩花兒。秋日之菊，覆霜猶燦，此 風骨自古為文哲志士所 欽賞。菊 花走 進 歷 代文人的內 心，從而讓菊花有形化無形，無形入有形，入文理、入 詩意、入畫境。無論以何種形式表現，菊花之美都不再 只是一抹稍縱即逝的生機，躍然而成一道生生不息的文 化底蘊。 淡泊之名 「 朝飲木蘭之墜露兮，夕餐秋菊之落英 」屈原《離騷》中 此二名句，則描繪出淡泊清貧的生活情貌，可見菊科植
HUMBLE ORIGINS One of the earliest instances of the chrysanthemum being referenced in poetry is in Qu Yuan’s famous poem Li Sao, composed during the Warring States period. In it, he writes: “Dew from magnolia leaves I drank at dawn, / At eve for food were aster petals borne.” Aster refers to the Asteraceae family of f lowering plants, to which the chrysanthemum belongs.
栽遍地可尋。然下句緊接「 苟余情其信姱以練要兮，長 顑頷亦何傷？」屈原表明，心存美好而過的儉貧，就算長 期面黃肌瘦又何妨？詩文裡的菊花尚未被賦予鮮明的意 涵，食菊亦非雅興，而是尋常的清苦之徵。 《本草綱目》載，「 菊之品凡百種，宿根自生，莖葉花 色，品品不同 」，種類繁複，開遍神州大地，並不以豔 奇著稱，自來以平實的樣態與人們朝夕相伴。如此平凡 的花兒，何以在浩蕩的中華文明裡留下耀眼的身影？

unlight filters through the branches of billowing trees. A cloudless cerulean sky and a warm breeze make it a perfect day for an outing. Throughout the park, couples, families, and friends sit in groups of twos and threes, enjoying the last remnants of summer. Amid this peaceful oasis, you can almost forget that you are in the center of America’s biggest metropolis. “Every day, millions of people wander through Central Park. … They never think about someone going through the process of designing these places,” said Lucy Lawliss, co-chair of the National Association of Olmsted Parks in an interview with Elite. “We forget that these aren’t just little random pieces of nature that the city left behind.” The birth of Central Park in the 19th century had a profound impact on the landscape-design industry. Frederick Law Olmsted, one of the primary architects, became known as the father of American landscape design. His remarkable legacy also includes Prospect Park in Brooklyn and Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, among hundreds of other projects. Olmsted’s work was motivated by a commitment to providing visually compelling and accessible green space to people of all economic backgrounds. He believed in the restorative and healing power of nature, as well as its role in promoting a stronger sense of community, especially in urban areas. His views are especially relevant today as we cope with the COVID pandemic. While indoor gatherings are considered unsafe, people are turning to the outdoors to connect with friends and family members. Places like Central Park provide people with a safe space to unwind and get fresh air.
午後的陽光在林間灑落，大樹骨感的枝影如扇，站在鐵 鑄的哥德式橋邊上往下一望，有蜿蜒的小徑，也有隨湖 岸延伸的清翠綠地。人們三三兩兩，或坐、或躺、或緩 行於隨風顫動的光影之間，而在湖畔的彼端，卻有高聳 入雲的摩天大廈，忽然意識到自己身處喧囂繁忙的都市 之中，眼前這片景緻的愜意，顯得不可思議。而這一道 不經意瞥見的美景，其實不是偶然的幸運。 「 每天有數以百萬計的人們造訪中央公園、展望公 園以及芝加哥等地的公園，但他們卻從未想過，這些景 觀是經誰人之手而完成的作品⋯⋯」美國國家奧姆斯德 公園協會（National Association Olmsted Parks）的 聯合主席 Lucy Lawliss 接受本刊專訪時表示，那些看 似渾然天成的美景，實則是精心打造的「 藝術作品 」。
EMBODYING AMERICAN VALUES Central Park was the first urban landscaped park in the United States. The idea for establishing a large green space in New York City was proposed initially in the 1840s. However, construction didn’t begin until 1857, after Olmsted and his co-designer, Calvert Vaux, won the rights to the project through a park-design competition with their proposed Greensward plan. The project spanned nearly two decades and cost $10 million. It wasn’t officially completed until after the Civil War, in 1876.
19 世紀中央公園的誕生，為美國景觀設計領域帶來 深遠的影響。擔任中央公園景觀建築師的弗雷德里克． 奧姆斯德（Frederick Law Olmsted）歷來被譽為「 美 國景觀設計之父 」，他與其事務所的設計遍布北美，為 美國的景觀設計奠定了文化精神。

MICHAEL SULL: THE BEAUTY AND PERSONALITY OF HANDWRITING 美國書寫體國寶級大師邁克‧索爾 ——手寫之美與溫度 English text by Catherine Yang | Chinese text translated by Ivy Tseng Pictures courtesy of Michael Sull
邁克．索爾（Michael Sull）擅長書寫史賓賽英文書法 （Spencerian script），這是一種在 19 世紀中至 20 世 紀初，於美國使用的正式商業與文化用的手寫字體，這 項文化已流傳百年。 40 多年來，他透過書寫他人的名 字，推廣這種筆法，展現書寫自己名字的美好。 他說：「 因為有很多人不會寫自己的名字，他們隨 意塗寫自己的名字，當你恣意筆劃自己的姓名，也是 不尊重自我的表現。我想說的是，你的名字是自己從 出生就擁有的身份識別，因此應當寫好它。如果你能 寫好自己的名字，會受到欽賞，人們會認可你是文化 人，因為你很注重自己的身份。他還能展現出你的教 育水準，一種身分的象徵。如今卻沒人會如此思考， 這是很可惜的事。所以我很喜歡告訴對方，他的名字 其實多麼的美。」 當人們面對面在交談時，感覺像是百萬個小訊息 在彼此間傳遞。有時會覺得在這些感覺很難透過文本傳 遞，但那是因為你不知道如何真正地進行書寫。漂亮的 史賓賽字體，是一種富有自然精神以及保有自由與優雅 空間的字體，他可以透過手寫捕捉與表現人們在語言裡 的各式情緒。索爾對於書寫的熱情，為他創造極大的 啟發。他說：「 你必須要有一點瘋狂才可以做到我做的

ne of master penman Michael Sull’s favorite things to write is people’s names. “Because so many people can’t write their names! They scribble their names. You scribble your name, you’re showing a lot of disrespect for yourself. I mean, your name is your most personal form of identification. You’ve had it since you were born. And you should write it well,” Sull said. “In the old days, if you wrote your name well, you were really admired; people could tell if you were a cultured person, that you cared about who you were, it showed about your education, there was a sense of identity. Today nobody thinks about that, and it’s a shame.” “So I love to show people how beautiful their names are,” Sull said. Sull is credited with the revival of Spencerian script—cursive handwriting—rescuing the American style of writing from near extinction. “There have been hundreds of times—I’ve been doing this for over 40 years—when I write people’s

秋季進補，粥品是為上選，「 烹穀為粥」乃中國歷史悠久 的飲食文化，早在《禮記》等古籍中就出現相關記載。然 而，你是否知道一碗粥就能治百病，還有美白、補血、延 年益壽的功效？甚至還有「 天下第一補物」的美名。一碗 看似平凡的食物，其實大有學問，可別小看這道天賜的 食糧。 濃米湯奇效 烹煮米粥最上層的米湯就是「 濃米湯」，濃米湯不僅可治 咳嗽還有很多功效，本文就來一探各色粥品有何助益？ 「 濃米湯 」補養人體的功效可媲美參湯，且經濟又 實惠。當米熬成粥時，最上一層的濃米湯會有「 米油 」， 即最上一層薄薄的油脂，就是粥的精華。按中醫講法， 這層米油具有「 益氣、養陰、潤燥 」之功效。清朝中藥學 家趙學敏的《本草綱目拾遺》有載，「 其力能實毛竅，最 肥人⋯⋯ 越醫全丹若云：黑瘦者食之，百日即肥白，以 其滋陰之功，勝於熟地也。」 此段文意為：米油能使皮膚光滑細嫩，具美容功效。 不僅如此，還能讓人長得壯實，尤其是營養不良的人吃

了之後，大約百日，就能夠養得又肥又白——肥謂壯實， 白即美容。它的滋陰效果比中藥材「 熟地 」還要好，而 「 熟地 」就是「 地黃 」經過九蒸九晒的補益良藥。 清代名醫王士雄有一本著作《隨息居飲食譜》，其 中穀食類篇寫到： 「 貧人患虛証，以濃米飲代參湯，每收 奇績。」如果是貧窮人家體瘦虛弱，又沒有錢買參湯補

身要怎麼辦？熬一碗濃米湯來代替人參湯，也能有奇效。 五穀養人身 中醫經典 《黃帝內經》中 〈藏氣法時論〉載： 「 五穀為養，五 果為助，五畜為益，五菜為充。」意思是說，人的身體最 主要的是補充五穀，吃五穀才能夠養人的身體。

A SPECIAL PORRIDGE THAT DOES WONDERS When one boils rice for congee, a translucent layer of thick liquid forms on top, producing the “soup” of the grain. The liquid has been proven effective for clearing coughs and restoring energy, along with many other benefits. On the uppermost layer of this soup is a thin sheet of “rice grease,” the essence of the congee. According to traditional Chinese medicine studies, this element is capable of improving energy circulation, nourishing the organs, and clearing internal blockages. In general terms, this is called replenishing the yin, or the vital essence, of the human body. Congee grease possesses yin-nourishing effects unmatched even by medicines such as Rehmannia, a well-known natural treasure made through a meticulous process of steaming and sun-drying the herb. In the records of The Collection of Compendium of Materia Medica by Zhao Xuemin (1719–1805), congee grease also boasts cosmetic effects, smoothing one’s complexion and strengthening one’s physique. According to Zhao Xuemin, if a malnourished person eats congee grease, these effects will be evident within 100 days.
While its significant nutritional value and curing power are comparable to those of ginseng soup, congee’s readily accessible and budget-friendly ingredients have made it a more popular choice as a source of nourishment for thousands of years. According to the records of Wang Shixiong, a reputable Chinese physician of the 19th century (the Qing Dynasty), congee achieved miraculous health effects for the less-affluent families, who commonly used it as a substitute for ginseng soup. THE INDISPENSABLE GRAINS The Chinese medical classic Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon states that to maintain homeostasis, the human body depends on “five grains to nourish, five fruits to assist, five meats to tonify, and five vegetables to supplement.” Though all are needed, the most pivotal are the five grains, namely, millet, rice, soybean, wheat, and adzuki beans. They serve as the main fuel for the body, as they contain the carbohydrates and fiber needed to maintain healthy bodily functions. Today, many young people believe they need to eat less rice in order to cut back on their starch intake

ADVERTORIAL
ince 1764, Baccarat has been providing the world with exquisite and timeless luxury crystal glassware. Founded in Lorraine, France, the brand has survived over 256 years of wars, revolutions, and ever-changing tastes, all without compromising its integrity and unmatched quality. Over the decades, Baccarat has come to symbolize an inimitable French “art de vivre” (art of living), inspiring leading designers from all around the globe. From its iconic lighting to unique tableware, from fine jewelry to striking decorative objects, there is a fitting Baccarat piece for every corner of your home. TRADITION MEETS MODERNITY The brand first came into existence when King Louis XV authorized the Bishop of Metz to establish workshops in Baccarat, a small village on the banks of the Meurthe River. By 1881, the modest town had become the heart of crystal manufacturing in France. Till this day, the Baccarat workshop houses four crystal furnaces that are running constantly. In 1823, Baccarat received its first royal commission. The brand quickly gained popularity among royalty, aristocrats, and heads of state all over the world, earning it the nickname “Royal Crystal.” After Baccarat won a gold medal at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1855, its reputation further skyrocketed, and its name soon became synonymous with the highest-quality crystal glassware. Baccarat created its first American subsidiary in New York City in 1948. Since then, it has expanded its products to jewelry and perfumes. Though the brand remains unwavering in its dedication to traditional techniques and craftsmanship, it is also continuously evolving with the times. “Baccarat’s key strength is to weave subtle ties between the combined facets of art, exceptional craftsmanship, and desire, striking the perfect balance between timeless heritage and modernity,” explained Jim Shreve, president and CEO of Baccarat, North America, in an email interview with Elite. Through collaborating with some of the world’s most renowned artists and designers, Baccarat has released a number of limited edition collections and special commissions. In 2019, it launched its
