Flower Deity Oracle / Poem 22 / Camellia The Flower Deity, 24 Tang and Song Dynasty Poems, and Newly Interpreted Oracle Meanings The Flower Deity and the ancient custom: "On the day of the start of summer (Mangzhong), offerings of various gifts are made to bid farewell to the Flower Deity. It is said that once Mangzhong passes, summer arrives, all flowers wither, and the Flower Deity retires, requiring a ceremonial farewell. This custom is particularly popular among young women. In the Grand View Garden, everyone rises early. The young ladies weave flower petals and willow branches into sedan chairs and horses, or layer silk and gauze to create banners and pennants, all tied with colorful threads. These adornments are attached to every tree and every branch of flowers. Throughout the garden, embroidered sashes flutter, and flower branches sway gracefully. The ladies themselves are dressed so beautifully as to shame the peach and apricot blossoms, and make the orioles and swallows envious and ashamed. It is impossible to describe it all." —Dream of the Red Chamber, Chapter 27 - - - It's like this: the vibrant blossoms, your youthful ardor, and your profound autumn sentiments—they all bloom because you are worthy. Sometimes, we yearn for a subtle sign. Sometimes, that elusive connection we can't quite articulate is simply a fate we're unwilling to acknowledge. Let us shake the oracle jar and entrust ourselves to the beauty of chance. Your belief in a feeling's existence, and your belief in its absence, are equally valid. - - - Content: Tang and Song Dynasty Poems and Newly Interpreted Oracle Meanings Paper: Glassine paper Technique: Gold foil stamping Size: 50 x 150 mm Packaging: Comes with imported Japanese OPP clear bag, please refer to one of the images.
