The name of this series is from an ancient chinese poem, which is called: "Spring, River, Flower, Moon, Night". This poem is so beautiful, and it inspired me about the beauty of women, the power of women, and the sprit of women.

River 江(Jiāng)

The river winds around the fragrant islet." What a beautiful sentence from the poem. The river gushes, the river gurgles, the river murmurs. The river is powerful, it is dynamic, it is passionate, it is unrestrained, it is ever-changing, it is what you don't expect. So, tell me, what kind of beauty of women do you feel in this “ RIVER ”?

Flower 花(Huā)

"The blooming flowers in moon's light all look like snow." What is a flower? The botanical definition of it is that it is the reproductive organ of angiosperms, whose biological functions are pollination, fertilization, seed formation, and fruiting for subsequent dispersal and reproduction. Flowers represent beauty, hope and appreciation. People also often use flowers to praise women. So, you see some beauty of women in this “FLOWER”?
