十二生肖承載豐富的歷史與文化內涵，在哲學、宗教信仰、民間傳說及藝術創作中占有重要地位，其影響力跨越時空，成為民族文化的象徵。然而，隨著資訊時代的來臨，生肖與命理相關的文化逐漸被忽視。十二生肖不僅是古老的文化符號，在現代社會中仍然充滿生命力，特別是在春節與生肖年等重要節日，並與個人性格和命運息息相關。為了重新詮釋生肖形象並展現其文化價值，本計畫以紅包為主題，結合生肖守護神的概念，使其兼具文化內涵與祝福意義。透過長摺頁結構的設計手法，以生肖與守護神齊聚的熱鬧宴會為背景，搭配精緻插畫呈現每個生肖的象徵意涵與守護神的庇佑，讓生肖文化更具現代感，並提升紅包的收藏價值與互動性，使其成為探索生肖故事的文化載體。

The Twelve Banquets

The Chinese zodiac carries a rich history and cultural significance, playing an important role in philosophy, religious beliefs, folklore, and artistic creation. Its influence transcends time and has become a symbol of national culture. However, in the digital age, the cultural aspects related to the zodiac and fate have gradually been overlooked. The twelve zodiac animals are not just ancient cultural symbols but remain vibrant in modern society, especially during major festivals such as the Lunar New Year and zodiac years, as they are closely connected to personal characteristics and destiny. To reinterpret the zodiac imagery and highlight its cultural value, this project uses red envelopes as a medium, integrating the concept of zodiac guardian deities to imbue them with both cultural meaning and blessings. By employing an accordion-fold design, the red envelopes will depict a lively banquet where the zodiac animals and their guardian deities gather. Detailed illustrations will highlight the symbolic meanings of each zodiac sign and the protection offered by their respective deities, enhancing the modern appeal of zodiac culture. This approach not only enriches the red envelopes with deeper layers of meaning but also increases their collectible and interactive value, transforming them into a medium for exploring zodiac stories.
