TraditioNOW’s debut series, named “Memorial to twelve seasons — TianKuang”, is the first of several to be launched on Gate NFT.
The big debut
The Auspicious TianKuang Festival Box is the latest TraditioNOW release on Gate NFT. It’s a series of bright and warmly coloured art pieces representing the Tian Kuang Festival, which in ancient times represented “fortunes from heaven.” The colour scheme and style aim to capture the festival’s core meaning of auspiciousness.
The TianKuang series is part of the Festival Revival Project, which includes several series of NFTs, each representing one of twelve selected festival seasons.
The series merges traditional and modern cultural themes, conveying a more lively and relatable representation of traditional Chinese culture. This bold stylistic choice aims to encourage education about the TianKuang Festival. Themes within the series include traditional cultural references such as Buddhist scripture and Emperor Song Zhenzong alongside contemporary imagery.
