Virtual World
Moving booth in the virtual world. After technology has made autonomous driving a reality, driving is no longer the main activity when getting into a
car. How to spend time in the vehicle is our new challenge to consider, and mobility might become a source of
enjoyment.
Computers may no longer be the primary product of the future; perhaps VR will take that place. The pioneering
spirit of Generation Z and their openness to new things
allow them to create their own spaces in the metaverse, fully enjoying their alternate identities.

Simplify the image of zongzi, presenting the image of zongzi wrapped in lotus leaves in a minimalist manner. The goal is to use the image of zongzi to represent the essence of the Dragon Boat Festival.
BACKGROUND STORY. According to "Historical Records - Biography of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng," Qu Yuan was a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period. He advocated for appointing the wise and capable, strengthening the country and its military, and firmly supported forming an alliance with Qi to resist Qin. He faced strong opposition from nobles like Zi Lan, leading to his removal from office and exile to the Yuan and Xiang river regions. In 278 BC, the Qin army conquered the Chu capital. Witnessing his homeland's invasion, Qu Yuan was heartbroken but could not bear to abandon his country. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, after writing his final work "Huai Sha," he drowned himself in the Miluo River, marking his life with a magnificent patriotic chapter. After Qu Yuan's death, the people of Chu were deeply grieved. Many rushed to the Miluo River to pay their respects. A fisherman threw rice balls and eggs into the river, prepared for Qu Yuan, thinking that feeding the fish, lobsters, shrimps, and crabs would prevent them from eating Qu Yuan's body. Others followed suit. An old doctor poured realgar wine into the river to intoxicate the aquatic creatures to protect Qu Yuan's body. Eventually, people began wrapping rice in tree leaves and tying them with colored silk, evolving into zongzi. Since then, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, customs like dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, and drinking realgar wine emerged to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.

CONCEPT. The title 'San Lu Dafu' was a unique official position in the state of Chu, responsible for overseeing rituals and affairs of the Chu royal family. Qu Yuan held this position for a long time before being promoted to Left Attendant, making the title 'San Lu Dafu' also specifically refer to him. Qu Yuan, due to his exile, drowned himself in the Miluo River as a way to express his concern and dissatisfaction with the state and the king of Chu. The custom of eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival in later generations is in memory of Qu Yuan. The term 'San Lu Zhi Si' is also named to commemorate Qu Yuan.

ISSUE. The pandemic prevents people from going out. As a result, children can't go outside to play, which affects their social abilities. A solution to develop children's ability to cooperate is by combining two rocking horses. Through this activity, known as 'U&U', children learn to make new friends, share, collaborate, and complete tasks independently.
