In a special show on Sept 23, 24 students from universities in Huzhou clad in traditional garb graced the T-stage at Beaute Ville in Daixi town, Wuxing district, Huzhou, Zhejiang province. 

Their visages, adorned to reflect the nuances of the 24 solar terms, featured delicate designs infused with elements of Chinese medicinal herbs.

"I embody the Start of Spring solar term, representing red dates in Chinese medicinal herbs. The red hues in my makeup, on my fan, and on my clothes signify the vibrancy of spring," explained Liao Jianan, one of the students.

The event also included a traditional Chinese medicine market and roundtable forums. Experts and scholars from different countries discussed the 24 solar terms, the development of traditional Chinese medicine products, and broader themes of life and health.

"We aim to connect the beauty and cosmetics industry with traditional Chinese medicine, creating a platform for talent exchange and academic research and infusing wisdom and vigor into the future development of our Beaute Ville," said Wu Shuang, deputy director of the Wuxing Economic Development Zone Management Committee.
