The Summer Solstice, which falls on 21-22 June, is historically significant in Chinese culture, often referred to as the "Summer Festival." This traditional festival once held national holiday status and was marked by customs such as women wearing colorful fans and exchanging powdered fat pouches as gifts during the Liao Dynasty.

In an innovative twist, all completed fan art creations were authorized by Gate Charity to be transformed into NFTs through scanning and photography. These NFTs will be sold in a charity sale, with all proceeds benefiting the cooperative units involved in the event.
