LinLang

 LinLang (琳琅) originally refers to the sound of fine jade resonating 

together, a metaphor for precious objects gathered and admired as one.

Pink is chosen as the primary color to convey warmth, softness, and the refined intimacy of a treasured collection.

- Court Cards & Jokers: illustrated

FengYa (风雅) originates from classical poetry, where voice and order meet.

It reflects a cultivated elegance — measured, expressive, and shaped by tradition rather than excess.

Fengya emphasizes restraint.

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the latest creation from 52 MUSÉE : Ancient Relics Playing Cards

We

 have carefully selected 54 exquisite Chinese relics from dozens of 

museums around the world. They are transformed into illustrations on the

 playing cards, each carrying the textures and light of civilization.

This is not merely a simple compilation, but a renewed contemplation of the threads of civilization.

The deck is divided into five chapters: ChunFeng, SheJi, RuYi, LinLang, and FengYa.

Instead

 of following a chronological order, it presents Chinese civilization 

through four perspectives: ritual, belief, utilitarian objects, and 

culture, with ChunFeng serving as a compilation of the other four chapters.

This project is jointly produced by TCC and 无理生长.

From the initial conceptualization of the artifacts to the completion of every illustration, 无理生长 carefully shaped the project’s spiritual core.

Based

 on photographic references of the original museum relics, the team 

reorganized their structures, established a cohesive visual style, and 

meticulously refined the linework, ultimately bringing the entire 

playing card series to completion.
