Moon's Clone
Wish you all the best at home. 2023.09.28
The Mid-Autumn Festival was first recorded in "Zhouli". In order to welcome the cooler weather, music officials would play drums and sing at night. The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month was neither cold nor hot, which was the time of the full moon, so it gradually spread over the long history. Become a holiday.

People climb high to admire the moon and gather for drinks and meals. The "round" shape of the moon also echoes the spirit of "group". The birth of festivals is always so timely and just right.

Let's invite the moon into the house and add a bit of poetry of reunion to our home.




Cut out a group of moons and hang them on the wall

The big white wall of the Little Face restaurant will change its theme with the seasons: lotus leaves, lotus pods, plant fruits, Chinese medicine specimens... can all become a DIY painting scene for children to hang, injecting a unique sense of life into the home. and memory. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, it's time to hang up the moon.





Referring to the work of designer Jingbaili, I used dark blue acrylic to paint the front of an old painting I didn't like at home. After it dried, I drew an even square grid on the back. I used a circle cutter to cut out the moon, and then glued the warm white light strips on. around the frame.





Put it on the wall and light the lamp, and 16 moons of different shapes and directions will come together in one painting, each shining brightly. Under the moonscape created by hand, the festival becomes more meaningful.



My mood is like a small lamp, full of moonlight

Xinzi has recently been reading "Cai Gen Tan", "The Beauty of Antiques in the Forbidden City" and "Traditional Chinese Colors", and is impressed by the composition, color matching and expression of artistic conception of the ancients. In fact, Eastern philosophy has always been permeated in our current life, restrained and full of power.
For example, in landscaping, the clever use of modern spherical lamps is like "picking off" a movable moon and placing it in your home. The warm light shines and creates a Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere.





"Thoughts are clear in silence, and you can see the true nature of your heart; you can see the true nature of your heart in your leisure time; you can recognize the true meaning of your heart in your leisure; your interests and interests are indifferent, and you can get the true taste of your heart." The artistic conception arises with the human heart, and in your own small world, it is even more So true.





Imagine that the sun sets and dusk leaves. Fortunately, there is still a bright moon hanging in the night sky... Focus on the glowing reunion in your heart, and everything suddenly settles down.





Breeze and bright moon, you and me and grapefruit


The arrival of grapefruit on the market reminds the Banmayizi couple that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
I recall sitting around the tea table watching the moon in my hometown. Apart from mooncakes, grapefruit was never absent. Adults will teach children 100 ways to peel a grapefruit. If you peel off the complete grapefruit peel, it will be the object of competition for the children. Wearing the grapefruit peel is as glorious as wearing a crown.







It has been many years since I left my hometown, and the wanderer's mood is like a tide, rising and falling with the moon phases on the calendar. By August, I feel homesick even more. On a whim, I wrote on grapefruit: Who am I sitting with, the breeze is bright and the moon is me. Let's think of this grapefruit as the clone of the moon in my hometown.





There is a vinyl record by Ryuichi Sakamoto, which complements the fragrance of grapefruit perfectly. To borrow his question in "Finale": How many more times can you see the full moon?



Shining brightly in my own space


During the festival, the market is particularly lively, and Xiaoxingxing also puts up lights and decorations in her own "pavilion," but the one she hangs is a balancing device of the solar system. If there is a slight breeze, the galaxy will rotate accordingly. Gaze up, let go, think about the insignificance of people, and the annoying things will become even more insignificant.





The moon is a satellite of the earth and is not among the planetary systems. But this home is a universe of little stars. Anything round can become the moon. It may be an incense burner with pomegranates on it, or it may be an orange lamp.





During the holidays, it is natural to gather with relatives and friends for fun, but don't forget to leave an empty corner for yourself.





Laughter is the light that shines at home

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, room 2401 was decorated. A spherical paper lantern hangs under the chandelier. There is no need for another light source, but it looks a bit like the moon itself, which does not emit light.






The wall-mounted TV switched to the picture and music of the moon. I prepared dark moon cakes and couldn't help but eat a few first. In fact, you don't need to prepare too many things, just wait for the family's laughter and laughter to slowly fill the space to perfection.





Each home has its own shape and story.
But a full moon can always travel through time and space
Connecting the world, the warmth in heart,
Jianze wish you all the best at home.
