For October, we’re summoning the synergy between algorithms and ancient systems. It’s tech meets tradition, spirituality, and the youth’s renewed fascination with fate, myth, and lore.

Electric sedan chairs are already dramatic enough, but being carried by jiangshi (僵尸), the hopping zombies of Chinese folklore, takes it to a whole new level.

In these classical Chinese landscape paintings, Yoda is meditating in a pavilion, Meowth is slurping noodles with a scholar, and a battle droid servant is preparing tea.
Check out the amazing work of artist 跳跳虫一号 on RedNote, who paints in the traditional Chinese style, then slips in characters from Pokémon, Star Wars, and World of Warcraft, as if they’d belonged in the landscape all along!

Lion dances are traditionally meant to scare away evil spirits, and this one definitely does the job right. Zero mercy from that mannequin head.

Once a year, a small Sichuan town lets the underworld’s officials out for a walk. Most striking of all is the Chicken-Footed God, who dons a mask made of fresh pig lung. Legend has it that, ironically, the scarier the god looks, the better it can ward off evil.
Qijiang Ancient Town (郪江古镇) in Santai County — not to be mistaken for Chongqing‘s Qijiang district— opens the border between the living and the dead. The “yin-yang border” parade takes place every year on the 28th day of the fifth lunar month and is recognized as intangible cultural heritage. Locals dress as the Judges of the Underworld, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and the Black and White Impermanence, stepping out of clouds of yellow smoke to bring the underworld to life. The procession then takes a brighter turn, with dragon dances and colorful floats, ending on notes of fortune and prosperity as a good omen for the year ahead.
We all love Sichuan for its spicy food, opera, and futuristic cities, and now there’s just one more reason to put it on your travel list.
