  4. Celebrating the Flower Gods (贺花神) – Spring Gala Festival 2026

    Admittedly, this isn’t a typical Chinese drama post (but it has CDrama actors!), but I was so wowed by the Spring Gala Festival 5-minute performance, 贺花神, that I had to share it with everyone.

    This is the kind of performance that you need lots of context and knowledge to truly appreciate. Most Chinese audiences would’ve had basic Chinese history and literature lessons, but not most of the world. So I’m here to provide some context to this magnificent performance.

    First, watch the performance below:

    https://youtu.be/CELpUCjLzp8?si=piMkJt6qs8Iwygr8

    The inspiration for this performance is The White Jade Monthly Cycle Set (白玉月令组佩), a Qing Dynasty artifact with twelve petal-shaped jade pendants. Each “petal” represented a month, carved with the representative flower of that specific month.

    January: Lin Bu (Northern Song Dynasty)

    Plum blossoms
    Played by Ning Li

    “Thin branches cast slanting shadows on the shallow, clear water,
    Subtle fragrance drifts in the twilight of the moonlit hour.”

    The poet, Lin Bu, hailed from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). He is a hermit of sorts, famous for considering plum trees and cranes as his only companions.

    Most memorably, Ning Li played Song Chen in Ripe Town. He has appeared in Joy of Life season 2 and The Long Night and The Bad Kids.

    February: Lu You (Southern Song Dynasty)

    Apricot blossoms
    Played by Liu Jun

    The poet Lu You (1125–1210) lived through the fall of the Northern Song dynasty. When the Jin dynasty conquered the capital of the Northen Song dynasty, his family fled south. A poet, historian, and government official, he wrote over 9,000-10,000 poems in his lifetime, making him one of the most prolific Chinese poets ever. Lu You wrote poems describing apricot blossoms and their beauty.

    Liu Jun has appeared in dramas such as Romance in the Alley, Guardians of the Dafeng (Emperor Jing) and The Tale of Rose.

    March: Lady Xi (Spring and Autumn period)

    Peach Blossom
    Played by Qin Lan.

    “The peach tree is young and tender, brilliant and bright are its flowers.”

    Lady Xi (also known as 息妫, Xi Gui), one of China’s Four Great Beauties, was a princess from the State of Chen during the Spring and Autumn period (around 684-680 BCE). Forcibly taken by King Wen to the palace after he killed her husband and kingdom, she refused to speak a single word for three years.

    Her life has been honoured in countless poems.

    Qin Lan starred in The Ingenious One, Story of Yanxi Palace, among many others.

    April: Yang Guifei (Tang Dynasty)

    Peony
    Played by Tang Shiyi

    Yang Yuhuan (719-756), better known as Yang Guifei*, was one of China’s Four Great Beauties and the beloved imperial consort of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. She is associated with the peony flower, which was extremely popular during the Tang Dynasty and symbolized wealth, honor, and feminine beauty – qualities that Yang Guifei herself embodied.

    Tang Shiyi is the principal dancer of the China Song and Dance Opera House. I adored her “Once Upon a Time in Luoyang” dance where she played the controversial Princess Anle of the Tang Dynasty.

    * Guifei is her title.

    May: Zhang Qian (Han Dynasty)

    Pomegranate Flower
    Played by Hu Bing

    The famous Han Dynasty explorer and diplomat Zhang Qian is historically credited with introducing pomegranates to China from Central Asia along the Silk Road.

    June: Zhou Dunyi (Song Dynasty)

    Lotus
    Played by Wang Yang

    “I alone love the lotus that emerges from the mud yet remains unstained.” A famous quote from his essay, “Love of the Lotus”, he praises the lotus flower as a symbol of purity and nobility, representing a gentleman who remains virtuous despite being in a corrupt environment.

    Wang Yang starred in War of Faith, Joy of Life (he was Fan Xian’s beloved bodyguard) and Under the Microscope

    July: Xu Wei (Ming Dynasty)

    Hollyhock
    Played by Zu Feng

    Xu Wei (1521-1593) was a legendary Ming Dynasty painter, calligrapher, poet, and literatus. He was the founder of the bold, expressive ink wash painting style, as portrayed in this performance. Xu Wei painted and wrote poems about hollyhocks

    Zu Feng has appeared in dramas like Welcome to Milele Village, Minning Town and Faith Makes Great.

    August: Li Qingzhao (Southern Song Dynasty)

    Osmanthus
    Played by Li Qin

    Li Qingzhao is celebrated as one of China’s most distinguished poets and is considered one of the greatest poets in Chinese history.

    Her first marriage was deeply harmonious as her husband is a lover of poetry. After the fall of the Northern Song capital, she fled south, and her husband passed away shortly after. Her second marriage was not as harmonious as he mistreated her, and she divorced him, a courageous act for a woman then.

    Li Qin recently appeared in Fated Hearts, which I adored.

    September: Tao Yuanming (Eastern Jin Dynasty)

    Chrysanthemum
    Played by Yu Ailei

    Tao Yuanming (365-427), also known as Tao Qian, was a famous Chinese poet from the Eastern Jin Dynasty who is particularly associated with chrysanthemums. He famously loved these flowers and often wrote about them in his poetry, especially celebrating their symbolism of integrity, resilience, and noble character blooming in autumn when other flowers fade. He is considered one of China’s greatest pastoral poets.

    Appearing in Joy of Life (season 2), Hunting and Silent Honour.

    October: Wang Zhaojun (Western Han Dynasty)

    Hibiscus / Cotton Rose
    Played by Wang Churan

    Wang Zhaojun (c. 50-15 BCE) was one of China’s Four Great Beauties and a famous court lady of the Western Han Dynasty. She was sent to marry a Xiongnu chieftain as part of a peace treaty, leaving the Han court to live among the northern nomads. In one of the legends about her, it is said that on her journey northward, it was said that she was overcome with sadness and began to play her pipa in sorrow. A flock of geese, overcome by the music, forgot to flap their wings and fell to the ground.

    Wang Churan has starred in How Dare You?!, Are you the One, Joy of Life season 2

    November: Bai Juyi (Tang Dynasty)

    Camelia
    Played by Liu Xueyi

    Bai Juyi (772-846) was one of the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, known for his accessible and socially conscious poetry — he often criticized government corruption and the suffering of common people. “The Song of Everlasting Sorrow” (长恨歌) is about the tragic love of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. It is among his most famous narrative poems. Many of Bai’s poems are quoted in the Japanese classic The Tale of Genji.

    Incidentally, Liu Xueyi also played a flower God in Love Never Fails, except that his true form is a Peony flower.

    December: Goddess of the Luo River

    Narcissus
    Played by Li Yunxiao

    Goddess of the Luo River is a famous figure from Chinese mythology, originally from a poem by Cao Zhi during the Three Kingdoms period. She is associated with the narcissus flower, which blooms in winter and is considered a symbol of good fortune and prosperity during the Chinese New Year season.

    Li Yunxiao is a Chinese actress and Yue opera actress. You can hear her performing this in her sequence.

  5. @xiann haha, i think “straight up chronological” is the idea here. but it also means your timeline is everything from people you follow. maybe you only want to see their original posts and not #boosts or #replies? now you got me looking at the pref settings which i hadn’t done since i first set them up… on the web interface (at least on my instance anyway), i just found the “gear” at the top of the timeline allow you to toggle off boosts/replies. see if they make things more interesting for you.

  7. Airports with three or more passenger terminals

    Listed below are airports around the globe that have three or more currently operating passenger terminals, including ones under construction. It does not include closed terminals, separate civilian aviation facilities, nor those terminals that are planned in the future.

    In some cases, specialty terminals are included, such as those for first class passengers, charters, and seasonal flights. It should be clarified that midfield concourses like those found in Atlanta or Denver are not considered separate terminals. What makes this even more confusing is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has two satellite “terminals” that operate much like midfield concourses. As a result, it was left off the list. In addition, some places such as San Juan, Puerto Rico use the term “terminal” instead of “concourse.” This list has tried to distinguish between the two and remove those that are misnamed.

    Every populated continent is represented on the list. Cities that have more than one airport on the list include New York City, Paris, and Miami-Fort Lauderdale. As always, please feel free to send along any additions, corrections, or suggestions.

    Peace!
