The card box is printed with Bai Juyi's "Longing" in gold-plated fonts - Thoughts are long, hatred is long, and hatred will not stop until I return home. The moon is bright, and people are leaning on the building. The pattern of the entire card box is depicting such a scene. In the rolling mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River, there are pavilions and towers. The woman in the poem may be leaning on the building waiting for her lover at this moment. The waxing and waning of the moon on the card box symbolizes the passage of time. The patterns of mountains, sun, moon, buildings, etc. are all outlined in gold, matched with purple tones, revealing luxury in dreams.
The back of the card is also a dreamlike picture, with a feeling of lying on the grass and looking at the starry sky. The star tracks in the sky draw shining rays of light, and two women are flying in the air with butterfly wings. Before sharing the cards, let me introduce you to the four suits. The suits of Huayue Nishang are not the traditional spades, plum blossoms, hearts, and diamonds, but are set to folding fans, ginkgo, butterflies, and peach blossoms. The four elements with Chinese cultural colors fully reflect the national style theme of this deck. The two Jokers in the picture are naturally no longer clowns, but two ancient women.
The 12 head cards in the picture are divided into three dynasties according to the three points of J, Q, and K: Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. Each dynasty is represented by corresponding clothing. For example, the clothing of the Tang Dynasty is mainly represented by the chest-length skirt. The clothing of the Song Dynasty basically inherited the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, but the style has changed, and people prefer to wear jackets. In the Ming Dynasty, the clothing was very different, and they pursued more gorgeousness. The collar also changed from a double-breasted collar to a stand-up collar. These details were drawn by the designer one by one. Each head card in the picture has a different body shape, holding traditional cultural objects such as kites, folding fans, and embroidery in their hands.
