This messenger presides over a "Time Post Office," filled with countless faintly glowing letters that represent unfinished stories or lost memories. The Time Messenger's mission is to help people find unresolved answers, reclaim forgotten fragments, or deliver crucial messages to the future, weaving together tales from different times and cultures. <br> https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54283207683_4de035341d_h.jpg **Deep within the Time Post Office lies an ancient cabinet containing twenty-four paintings, each narrating the story of the changing seasons.** One day, the Time Messenger approached the cabinet and gently retrieved a scroll. The painting depicted a plum blossom bud, its branches dusted with early winter frost. Beside it, a label read: "Minor Snow" (小雪). The Messenger smiled faintly, knowing the time had come to embark on this seasonal pilgrimage, delivering the solar terms to all corners of the world. **The Origin and Mission of the Solar Terms** The letters delivered by the Time Messenger are not ordinary paper, but the fluid rhythm of life itself. The twenty-four solar terms are the most delicate timekeeping markers between heaven and earth. Ancient people used them as a guide for agriculture, daily life, and rituals, flowing with these seasonal transitions. The first painting shows the beginning of spring, "Start of Spring" (立春), with plum blossoms just opening amidst the nascent vitality of the cold wind. The Messenger sent it to the earth, urging it to awaken. Following this were "Rain Water" (雨水) and "Awakening of Insects" (驚蟄), where spring thunder rumbled and all things gradually became active. These scrolls acted as calls from the earth, guiding people on when to sow and cultivate. **The Scrolls of the Seasons** In spring, the messenger brought tender willow buds and colorful blossoms; in summer, golden ears of wheat and lotuses under the scorching sun filled the paintings. —During "Start of Summer" (立夏), farmers looked up at the sky as the messenger walked through the waves of wheat, delivering messages of abundant harvest. —At the time of "Summer Solstice" (夏至), guarding the longest day of the year. As autumn arrived, maple leaves in the paintings turned the mountains red, and morning dew reflected white frost. During "White Dew" (白露), the messenger softly called: "The time of harvest is near, prepare for abundance." When "Autumn Equinox" (秋分) arrived, with day and night equally divided, he delivered golden chrysanthemums, adding a touch of noble color to autumn. Winter is the season of deepest tranquility, with plum blossoms defying the frost and snowflakes falling. During the periods of "Minor Snow" (小雪) and "Great Cold" (大寒), time seemed to pause in the vast, white landscape. The Messenger walked lightly, handing the final scroll to the earth, whispering: All returns to silence, awaiting the start of a new cycle. **【For more collage inspiration ✨, visit IG (shuri.jc), FB #舒栗故事館】**
