China’s 600-year-old Palace Museum has recently announced a three-year deal with the tech-giant Tencent, to jointly promote traditional Chinese culture to the young generation in China.

A collection of creative works based on some traditional paintings of the Palace Museum has been released, in which an ancient character, believed to be one of the Emperor Yong Zheng’s concubines, were seen using Virtual Reality gadgets talking to the emperor, or using memes talking with other girls in the palace.

It is not the museum’s first attempt in promoting traditional culture through modern technologies in recent years. It has previously launched its own mobile application, and offers a variety of products on its official online store. In 2015, the museum’s revenue from creative products reached nearly one billion yuan (150 million US dollars). Tencent, which enjoys 877 million registered users, is expected to build a bridge between Chinese youth and traditional culture.

Expressing my love for the written word the next best way I know how—through illustration and typography. Here’s to all the books that kept us up at night, the pages we turn to for comfort, and to all the words yet to be written.

To motivate you to beat your reading goals for the year, I’ve created a 2017 calendar out of these designs—with each month having its own bookish illustration. If that’s your thing, you can check the calendar here.

As for the rest—prints, shirts, mugs, and more are available at: RedBubble | Society6 | TeePublic
