Move over, Hello Kitty! 🎨 A fluffy Persian cat in Tianjin just stole the spotlight by leaping into a centuries-old New Year painting – and emerging as a folk-art superstar. During a whimsical adventure at a Yangliuqing woodblock print museum, our feline protagonist couldn’t resist the lure of a vibrant scene featuring a lucky boy and a golden carp (which apparently looked *very* snackable).
In a magical twist straight out of Alice in Wonderland, the curious cat received a ‘Tianjin makeover,’ transforming into a radiant New Year door guardian. This isn’t just any art upgrade – it’s a living showcase of Yangliuqing prints, a 400-year-old craft recognized as Chinese intangible cultural heritage. 🧧
Psst… travelers! Add Tianjin’s woodblock art museums to your Spring Festival bucket list. Where else can you see cultural traditions literally come to life? 😉
