HAPPY NEW YEAR OF THE HORSE from the Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all colleagues and friends for their kind support over the past year!

Our special thanks go to Dr. Wang Ziwei 王紫微 who has designed this beautiful greeting card, as she has done every year since JCLC’s launch in 2014. The borders of the card are adorned with images of horses in the sancai or “three-color” glaze of the Tang dynasty 唐三彩. To the people of that golden age, the horse not only symbolized Silk Road connectivity but also embodied the cosmopolitan spirit of their times.

As the New Year approaches, JCLC editorial team wishes you courage, strength, and brilliant success!
