神州文色: 淺論中國傳統色彩之美
By Ann Lin 月白是哪種白？雨過天青又描繪著什麼樣的景色？秋香之色與味，為何如此迷人？暮山紫的風情，該何處尋？中華先民對顏色的認知，五彩斑斕，格外絢麗。傳統的中華顏色，色澤涵蓋領域廣泛而細膩，色彩的命名更是詩情畫意、風情萬種，不僅靈動優雅，也承載著數千年的文化底蘊和審美趣味。 五行五色之起源 華夏先民從觀察天地運行間，日出日落和時序更迭的自然景色中，得出青、赤、黃、白、黑為滋生宇宙天地的基本色調，從而與木、火、土、金、水，這五種構成宇宙萬物的基本要素相對應，建構出相生相剋而又生生不息的五行五色觀。關於五色觀的記載，最早見於上古文獻，專事記錄舜、禹和皋陶對話的《尚書．益稷》中。先民在俯仰大地，辨析生存空間方位的同時，也將這五種顏色對應到東、南、中、西、北，這五個方位。 「東方謂之青，南方謂之赤，西方謂之白，北方謂之黑。」節自《周禮．考工記》。青色屬木，含義是生，象徵著枝繁葉茂，萬物生機的東方；赤色屬火，代表火與太陽，象徵炎熱的南方；白屬金，原造字本意取的是陽光灑落於天地之間的景象，象徵著秋收的西方；黑色屬水，晦黯如深沉的大海，也有如大陸北方嚴峻未明的天空色澤。...
In Harmony With Colors: From Ancient Chinese Theory to Everyday Life
By Ann Lin Pictures Courtesy of Taiwan National Palace Museum There is no better way to describe our world than as a kaleidoscope of colors. In traditional Chinese culture, colors are not just hues and pigments. Backed by five millennia of wisdom and culture, colors communicate in a language all their own.

人本美學 意式匠心 - Elite Lifestyle Magazine
「家」的樣貌展現著屋主獨一無二的性格，家具的選擇則細訴著使用者的生活品味和態度。在意大利深耕五十年的Poliform深諳此道，因此致力於將他們打造的每一件家具與居家空間，達到平衡和諧的美學境界。從沙發至床具，從櫥櫃至桌椅，皆以簡約而典雅的風格，精緻著生活的各個角落。 兼具傳統與創新 Poliform源自於1942年Spinelli與Anzani家族開始經營的小型工作室，其位於意大利北部的布里安扎（Brianza），鄰近科莫湖，自19世紀起，便以家具設計聞名的城鎮，可謂是意大利家具設計的起源地，奠定著意大利在全球家具市場上的權威性。1970年，隨著二戰後世界經濟和工業的發展，傳統家具已不能滿足人們的生活型態，於是Alberto Spinelli、Aldo Spinelli 與 Giovanni...

By Jeff Perkin Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike. —John Muir Just by glimpsing a photograph of California’s iconic Yosemite Valley, it’s easy to understand why millions of people from around the world make the pilgrimage to its breathtaking landscapes every year.
托馬斯·科爾（Thomas Cole）是美國首位偉大的風景畫家，他的畫風別樹一幟，為19世紀初期美國畫壇的哈德遜河派（Hudson River School）奠定了基礎。從令人屏息凝神的曠野景色、蕩氣回腸的歷史時刻，到引人入勝的寓言故事，科爾身體力行，用高超的技藝在大自然中刻畫人性、追尋神蹟。 《生命之旅》系列畫作正是他道盡一生的信仰之作，這組繪畫共有四幅，描繪了人生的四個階段：童年、青年、成年、老年。 該組畫作是受大銀行家塞謬爾·沃德（Samuel Ward）委託、為其私人宅邸創作的。沃德是一位虔誠的信徒，他請科爾由宗教的視角出發，以寓言的方式描繪人漫步一生、終獲救贖的旅程。雖然沃德在畫作問世前就去世了，但是科爾堅持完成了畫作，並打算將此系列展示給世人。我們從這四幅畫中可以看出，科爾在晚年對宗教的信仰愈發虔誠。無論您有無信仰，都能對《生命之旅》中，人在不同階段面對的重重挑戰與心境變化，產生共鳴。 童年...
The Language of Flowers
By Jennifer Schneider Floriography, also called the language of flowers, has been a means of cryptological communication for centuries. Through arrangements of specific flowers, coded messages could be delivered to recipients. In addition, plants have traditionally represented metaphors for virtue or vice. The origins of plant symbolism can be attributed to the literature of antiquity, religious writings, and the documented study of medieval herbology.
芬芳密語--淺談花語的歷史 - Elite Lifestyle Magazine
幾個世紀以來，人們都曾用花語為通信加密，精心搭配的花束成為了人們傳達情意的美好信使。隨著時代變遷，花卉便包含了或善或惡的隱喻。 植物象徵主義的起源可追溯至中世紀的草藥學、文學及宗教著作，《聖經》也為多種樹木、水果和花卉賦予了神聖的含義。從中世紀到文藝復興時期，許多篤信宗教的作家和藝術家都曾借花語詮釋他們虔誠的信仰。 西元7世紀的英國本篤會會士費德（Bede the Venerable）曾將聖母瑪利亞比作百合花：「潔白的花瓣象徵她純淨的身體，金燦燦的花葯代表她靈魂的光輝。」由此，百合花成了純潔無瑕、謙遜淡雅的象徵。 15至16世紀，西方畫壇盛行現實主義繪畫，藝術家們逐漸將植物代表的意象固定下來，發揚光大。17世紀以前，花朵在畫作中通常作為點綴，拋磚引玉、昇華主題、表達主體的道德內涵。16世紀的德國肖像畫家小路德格爾.湯姆.凌（Ludger Tom Ring the Younger）創作的兩幅花卉畫，開創了這一類別的先河。畫中兩個花瓶上都寫著：「神言蘊藏在草木與石頭中。」 大安布羅修斯·博斯查爾特（Ambrosius Bosschaert the...

English by Sarah A.

SOOTHE YOUR BODY AND MIND
By Faithe Lo A hot morning shower freshens the spirit and rinses sleep away—a moment of solace before the hubbub of the day. Then, when the sun has set and everything’s quiet again, a good-night ritual for face and body is a treat. Aromatic oils, bath “tea,” and soothing salts create the ultimate indulgence. Let yourself be uplifted. Close your eyes and imagine yourself above this earthly plane. Soft linens, aromatherapy, turns of steam and the feeling of warm rain… Let yourself completely relax.

「魚」韻無窮--探尋新年文化符碼 - Elite Lifestyle Magazine
Chinese by Ann Lin Translated by Holly Zhou Pictures courtesy of SAINT LOUIS ART MUSEUM 中國新年對華人來說是一年之中最重要的節日，闔家團圓的大好日子。每到除夕夜，全家人齊聚一堂吃團圓飯時，桌上必有一道跟魚有關的佳餚，而且大家都會有不把它吃完的默契，意味著年年有「餘」，也藉此表達今年全家生活豐裕的感謝，並蘊含著來年日子也能過得豐衣足食、不虞匱乏的期望。 自古以來，「魚」因其諧音，在華人世界被賦予「餘」之精神寓意與詮釋，延伸出一種「豐年有餘」的生活哲思。生活中不僅常見魚紋飾的藝術作品，豐富著人們的生活情趣，也象徵著美好的含義，例如：魚與蓮花，象徵「連年有餘」，生活優裕；「魚魚」嬉戲，即表生活「餘裕」之意。華人們對「魚」的遐思，早在千年前，便從佳餚昇華至文化層面。 魚之信仰 上古時期，捕魚為生的人們，透過漁獲富足其生活。從六、七千年前出土的半坡彩陶上所見之魚紋飾也可推測，中國遠古氏族在漫長歲月中，逐漸發展出與魚密切相關，象徵豐饒祈願的信仰文化。...

夢想需要多少勇氣？ 專訪千萬點閱影音創作者The DoDo Men

精誠所至 大師唯一傳人專訪頂級提琴工藝師Ronald Ji
By Astrid Wang Photography by Adi Wang 上個季度的紐約時裝週,他受官方邀約,擔任數個秀場的攝影主位,在高強度的工作節奏下,他毫無倦容,時刻保持專注,對工作的熱忱超乎常人,這是本次受訪者給我們的第一印象。然而,一次偶然的談話間才得知,這位來自臺灣臺中的年輕人,本業並不在時裝界,攝影只是他的興趣。如今他會待在這座大城市裡,全是因為17 歲那一年許下的心願。 現年 35 歲的提琴職人 Ronald Ji,以其名自創品牌「Ronald Ji New Yrok」,客製頂級提琴與琴弓;其經手的修復案件,多是樂界頂尖樂手的提琴,以及珍藏於博物館內無法輕易以價格估量的歷史名琴。作為一名提琴修復師,若無數十年的修復資歷,幾乎沒有機會接手此類修復案,那麼他何以在如此年紀擁有這番履歷?
重拾亮顏--居家保養指南 - Elite Lifestyle Magazine
English by Pia-Maria Norris Translated by Minghui Wang 隨著年齡增長，我們的額頭、眼周、嘴巴、脖子上都慢慢出現了暗斑及細紋。不過也毋需太擔心，本文就教大家平日在家如何有效地對抗皮膚衰老問題。 提亮肌膚 如受黑色素沉澱或者膚色不均勻困擾，可於往日的護膚步驟中，加入亮膚產品。例如早上採用維生素C精華液。不過，我們也必須知道消除暗斑，並非三兩天就可見效，所以要有耐心，堅持使用相關產品，才會看到變化。除此之外，另有一項關鍵在於，挑選有效成分含有「美白」和「去角質」功效的產品。 維生素C： 局部維生素C可以有效淡化黑斑、恢復因膠原蛋白流失而造成的肌膚老化問題，從而使暗淡的皮膚重煥光澤。維生素C不僅能夠抑制黑色素生成、刺激膠原蛋白形成，也能有效地保護皮膚免受自由基破壞。不過，也需特別注意：維生素C不應該與視黃醇、AHA或BHA酸一起使用。 對苯二酚： 對苯二酚被認為是消除暗斑最有效的方法，通過抑制色素沉澱嚴重區域的黑色素產生來均勻膚色。但這種化學物質也會帶來副作用，容易引起皮膚乾燥或造成刺激反應。 熊果苷：...
佳節必備飲品--簡易蛋酒食譜 - Elite Lifestyle Magazine
邁入年末的節日季，許多家庭會自製蛋酒宴請客人，這可說是美國人家戶必備的聖誕飲品。蛋酒又可稱「蛋奶酒」或「甜蛋酒」，中文翻譯雖然稱其為「酒」，但其最初的版本是不含酒精成分的軟性飲料，過去甚至是作為治療流感的藥用飲品。 相傳，蛋酒的前身是一種名叫「posset」的奶製飲品，是由13世紀的英國傳教士使用雞蛋和無花果製作而成。隨著時間推移，人們開始在飲料裡添加奶油、糖、肉桂等香料，為了延長雞蛋和牛奶的保存和食用時間，因此又延伸出與各種酒類搭配的版本，作為社交場合的飲品，其中最廣為流傳的酒精搭配是雪莉酒及白蘭地等，而以雪莉酒作為基底的蛋酒更是17世紀英國貴族們的最愛，從此蛋酒便多了祝福健康與財富的寓意，因在當時，牛奶、雞蛋、雪莉酒都是得來不易的珍貴食材。...
晦暗中前行的力量--美國感恩節 - Elite Lifestyle Magazine
English by Jeff Minick Translated by Cora Wang 大家或許都對感恩節的由來有所耳聞：清教徒初來到美洲大陸，在一位印地安人史廣多（Squanto）的幫助下，學會了種植與捕撈等生存之道。1621年，清教徒們在麻薩諸塞州的普利茅斯迎來了大豐收。為感謝上帝的祝福，他們舉辦了盛大的秋收宴會，觥籌交錯，慶祝了三天三夜。這場盛宴便是「感恩節」的前身。但感恩節是何時成為闔家歡慶的法定節日呢？這得從19世紀的一位女作家——薩拉·約瑟夫·海爾（Sarah Josepha Hale）介紹起。 Sarah Josepha Hale, 1831, by James Reid Lambdin, Richard’s Free Library, Newport, New Hampshire.
