Bicycle 24 Solor Terms (Spring - Scroll of River Mist)

The Bicycle "24 Solar Terms" Series is an art deck named after the four seasons: "Spring: Scroll of River Mist," "Summer: Score of Southern Rain," "Autumn: Anthology of Wind and Water," and "Winter: Chronicle of Ink and Snow." It evokes a poetic vision wherein "the misty rain of Jiangnan becomes a painting, and the ink-wash wind and snow become poetry."

Each card is a living, breathing scroll of colored ink painting. Two or three cards can be pieced together to form the hazy drizzle of Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects), while four or five can connect to create the vista of Bailu (White Dew), where autumn waters merge with the vast sky.

As the deck's hand-painted artwork flows through your fingertips, it is like unfurling a dynamic, pastoral anthology of poetry and painting. With its unique illustrations, this deck allows the four seasons to complete their cycle within a single shuffle.

Every combination creates a new landscape. Perhaps two or three cards reveal the haze of the Plum Rain season, or seven or eight link together to form the boundless expanse of swirling snow in the frontier lands. Within the small tableau of a card spread, you can begin to decipher the code of the cosmos.

"Living landscapes, dynamic life—a flowing, painted scroll."

Through six exquisite scrolls of traditional Chinese style art, the cards masterfully depict the progression of the spring season. Each artwork represents a solar term—Lichun (Start of Spring), Yushui (Rain Water), Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects), Chunfen (Spring Equinox), Qingming (Clear and Bright), and Guyu (Grain Rain)—condensing the wisdom of the solar terms from five thousand years of Chinese civilization onto the very face of the cards.
