Dunhuang Seasonal Festivals is an innovative design that blends the aesthetics of Mogao Caves murals with China's 24 solar terms. By reconstructing the Dunhuang mineral pigment color system and integrating brushstroke rhythms and decorative patterns, this project uses contemporary typography to visualize the agricultural philosophy of each solar term. It offers a new approach for the revitalization of intangible cultural heritage, balancing historical authenticity with modern minimalism.

Zhang Dapeng is a researcher and practitioner in the field of digital innovative design of cultural heritage, and currently serves as a teacher at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. Through interdisciplinary design experiments and the development of public projects, his work is committed to the contemporary translation and sustainable dissemination of traditional visual systems. His work The Seasons of Dunhuang takes the visual language of Dunhuang murals and the culture of the Chinese 24 Solar Terms as the research focal points. By analyzing the spectrum of ancient mineral colors and the spatio-temporal narrative logic of decorative patterns, and combining digital technology reconstruction with font design experiments, he has formed a set of visual transformation methodology that can be adapted to the modern communication context.

"Time And Season Of Dunhuang" is a visual communication design project initiated by the School of Art and Design at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, aiming to reinterpret the symbiotic relationship between Dunhuang art and traditional Chinese solar term culture through modern design language. Inspired by the aesthetics of Mogao Grotto murals and the 24 solar term system, the project employs digital technology to extract and reconstruct five core mineral pigment color palettes from the murals, integrating brushstroke rhythms and classical decorative patterns into its visual translation. Breaking away from traditional solar term poster formats, the design team adopted a strategy of deconstructing and recombining Chinese character symbols. The initial phase produced two experimental poster prototypes for "Bailu" (White Dew) and "Yushui" (Rain Water), using minimalist compositions to visualize the philosophical connection between solar terms and agrarian practices, with plans to expand into a complete series. The project emphasizes technical rigor, including historically accurate color restoration based on academic research and dynamic balance in font structures, seeking to bridge historical authenticity with modern design aesthetics. By developing modular visual systems and methodologies for intangible cultural heritage revitalization, the design offers scalable pathways for transforming traditional cultural resources into contemporary contexts. It strives to engage public awareness and appreciation of solar term culture through the artistic vocabulary of Dunhuang, establishing a new paradigm for heritage-inspired design innovation.
