Spring arrives not with a whisper but with silk sleeves brushing against bamboo leaves.

On April 4, Weifang’s (潍坊) Taihua (泰华) City South Gate Square turned into a living scroll. Drums and zithers played. Crowds gathered. The fourth annual Flower Festival and Hanfu Culture Week had begun. Twelve “flower goddesses” stepped forward. They had won a citywide contest—online votes, then live judging.
