Guangmu Heavenly King in the West is also known as the Serpent King. His magic weapon is a serpent.
Serpent and dragon have the same meaning, representing change. We often say, "We can see the head of the Dragon but not its tail." This saying means that everything is unpredictable and changeable, and we must research them carefully to cope easily.
The Four Heavenly Kings are the guardian deities of the Heavenly Court in the four directions of East, West, South, North, and South, and each of them carries a special magic weapon to permanently guard the gates of the Heavenly Realm with vast and boundless magical power.

"In fact, money and trading have long been closely associated with art. Since the emergence of art, financialization has been continuously in process, only that its speed has varied at different times, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. But there is only one direction. When we enter the era of web3, money is a token, artwork is a token, and the two are finally equal!"

Chiguo Heavenly King in the East is also known as the Pipa King. His magic weapon is a pipa.
The pipa represents that one should not be too hasty in doing things and that one should know the "middle way" neither too much nor too little; just like playing the zither, if the strings are loose, they will not make any sound, and if they are tight, they will break. That is, we must do things just right, not overdoing it and not falling short of it so that things can be complete.

In a faraway place, there are three mysterious mountains. These mountains are not only wonders of nature but also beliefs in people's hearts. Becoming a guardian of the three mountains requires more than courage.
A guardian must possess great strength of mind, resist the temptations of darkness, and ensure the safety and prosperity of the mountains. Only then can the three mountains remain holy in people's hearts.

The old internet is nostalgic. In a time when there were no smartphones or high-speed internet, we used slow dial-ups to access the internet, yet we still enjoyed connecting with the world. The AOL Instant Messenger was a symbol of that era.
AOL Instant Messenger, an instant messaging program once famous worldwide, allowed us to send text, pictures, and files quickly in that era of slow Internet speeds. Its appearance made communication more convenient and allowed us to make many new friends in the virtual world. At that time, we always looked forward to receiving letters from faraway places, the kind of anticipation and surprise as if it were just yesterday.
With the development of technology, we have gotten used to all kinds of high-speed Internet services and instant messaging tools. However, when we look back on the past, those old Internet products that used to accompany us through countless days and nights still make us feel very emotional. They witnessed our growth and carried our memories. And AOL Instant Messenger is an indispensable part of those good times.

The sky has broken. Lightning bolts fill the earth.
Patching the sky might be an endless quest.
From the endless darkness, I am searching for the guidance of light.
