With the arrival of Beginning of Summer, all things begin to flourish. Warm breezes sweep through the air, and grass and trees grow lush and full. At this time, mole crickets begin to sing, earthworms emerge from the soil, and the shade of green deepens with each passing day. All across heaven and earth, life is vibrant and full of energy. In ancient times, people adorned themselves in harmony with the seasons, and wove the charm of summer. They gathered the beauty of summer into softly arranged strands of hair.
立夏至,万物秀。风暖草木皆繁茂,此时蝼蝈鸣,蚯蚓出,绿荫渐浓,天地间尽是蓬勃生机。古人顺时节而妆,亦将夏日意趣藏进青丝绾就的温柔里。
For thousands of years, skilled artisans have followed the rhythm of the season, combing, twisting, weaving, and tying, shaping graceful hairstyles with patience and care. With ancient techniques and natural ingenuity, every combing stroke carries elegance, and every twist and turn reflects youthful beauty. This is the intangible cultural heritage of hair braiding.
千百年来,巧手匠人依夏时梳绾青丝,盘绕、穿插、编结、束扎,遵循古法,巧思天成。一梳一绾皆是风雅,一缠一绕尽是芳华,这就是非遗编发技艺。
A single strand of hair carries a thousand years of refined beauty. A pair of skillful hands keeps alive the warmth of this living tradition. May you, in the gentle summer breeze, comb away your worries and gather all that is beautiful and good. May you live with ease and joy, and may peace stay with you year after year.
一缕青丝,承载千年雅致;一双巧手,传承非遗温情。愿你在夏日清风里,梳去烦忧,绾住美好,自在欢喜,岁岁安然。
