The project is established by Beijing T-Unique Media Group Co Ltd, seeking to present the unique characteristics of each solar term through original compositions and visual storytelling, combining intangible cultural heritage with digital technology.

"Music Sensing Seasons is more than just a tribute to traditional culture, it represents a bold exploration of future ways of cultural innovation," says Wu Yaxuan, founder and CEO of T-Unique.

With a background in piano performance, Wu performed the piece themed on Spring Equinox at the event. Each solar term will feature an original musical piece, accompanied by visual effects, allowing the listeners to feel the passage of time and the natural scenes expressed by the compositions.

The event also marks a "solar term experience center" being set up at Chaoyang district's Tuanjiehu Cultural Center, hosting cultural markets and exhibitions, offering educational workshops and a range of intangible cultural heritage products.
