“Brushstrokes of Seasons” is an interactive digital experience that fuses AI acrostic poetry, ink-style art, and the traditional Chinese calendar. Through a novel algorithm that connects seasonal wisdom with poetic form and visual expression, users generate personalized poems and greeting cards by simply entering a name or phrase. This project reimagines cultural tradition in a digital, participatory form—creating a poetic ritual that bridges nature, humanity, and technology.

The project’s unique AI acrostic algorithm fuses NLP, poetic rules, and seasonal art. Unlike typical AI tools, it deeply integrates cultural meaning, poetic form, and ink visuals—creating outputs rich in Chinese identity and precision.

By entering a name, users co-create seasonal acrostic poems paired with elegant ink-style cards—making cultural creation both simple and meaningful. Inspired by the refined ritual of inscription, the interface transforms user interaction into an artistic gesture, encouraging everyday engagement with tradition and evoking a renewed emotional connection to cultural roots.

The platform turns solar-term poems into interactive cultural assets. Users learn through play, while digital cards replace paper ones—blending heritage, education, and sustainability in one poetic system.

The project has launched across festivals and education, earning strong user praise. With broad adaptability, it supports a growing digital ecosystem for seasonal heritage—bringing Chinese culture to new audiences worldwide.
