One side is lake water, the other is ink paste. The lake water imprints the sun and moon of Jiangnan, drinking in ink and the scent of books. Swallows dart through the rain—flitting from the Gan River, from Tengwang Pavilion, from Shengjin Tower, from Xinghua Building, from Fushan. Flying swallows, flying raindrops. The rains of Jiangnan, the rains over Meihu Lake, nourish day and night the green grasses, shrubs, and towering trees along the shore.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms are seasonal markers that were summarized by ancient Chinese people through their observations of the sky and the earth. They reflect the climatic changes throughout the four seasons in China and embody the life experiences and cultural memories of the agricultural era. These terms are imbued with the traditional wisdom of survival and the philosophy of life held by the Chinese people. In November 2016, the “Twenty-Four Solar Terms” were officially inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
