Amazed by traditional Chinese culture, illustrator1 Wan Yue has found a way to give traditional cultural elements2 a modern touch with her ability to make objects into beautiful characters.
Based on Chinese archaeological artifacts 3, she creates beautiful ancient characters. Her cool art invites people to explore the historical stories of these artifacts. One artwork from her cultural artifact series features a silver incense burner 4 with patterns of grapes, flowers and birds. Unearthed in 1970, the relic is now kept at the Shaanxi History Museum in Xi’an. In Wan’s work, a young woman dressed in hanfu is shown to be dancing, with the incense burner flying in the air above her hand.
By drawing on various things related to the artifacts, Wan often lets her imagination lead the way. In this way, the artifact she’s drawing seems to have a “spirit of its own”.
Known as Yuyuqing online, Wan has won more than 2 million followers. “I feel a sense of responsibility and honor to contribute, in my own way, to the spread of traditional culture,” she told China Daily.
