Rihanna by Chen Man in a Tang Dynasty-inspired editorial. I especially love the makeup in this. It’s so clearly Tang Dynasty inspired yet also perfectly combines modern aesthetics (cough, Mulan live-action, cough). Petition for Rihanna to appear in the next Tang Dynasty drama.

【Summary】
Actor Lou Yixiao (娄艺潇) plays Wu Zetian, and holds a prayer ceremony under the “Loshena Buddha Statue” in the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang.
The statue of Lusena Buddha was excavated in the third year of Xianheng, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (AD 672). Wu Zetian, who was the empress of Li Zhi at the time, she donated 20,000 money to the project, which is equivalent to more than 6 million Yuan (CNY) today in terms of the price of food at that time.

It is almost 中秋节, Mid-Autumn Festival This year it is celebrated on the 1st of October 2020, which is also, 十一 , the PRC National Day of China. During this festival, Chinese get together with their families and eat moon cakes and look upon the moon.
I promised you that I would share some poems with you. This is a poem about missing the family reunion of the festival. It describes how beautiful it is, in a quiet yet sad way. The sadness and longing is very prominent. I cannot celebrate the festival with my family this year either, so I feel deeply connected to this poem. I hope everyone who celebrates can be with their 家人 family (´。• ᵕ •。`) ♡
