立春阳气转（Lap6 Ceon1 Joeng4 Hei3 Zyun2）
（演出时以广东话念出）
（During performance the phrase is recited in Cantonese）

日暖始，气初动：立春象征万物苏醒与新循环的开始。
在二十四节气中，立春标志着寒冬告一段落，阳气回升，大地渐渐回暖。
立春常被视为一年气运转换的节点，人们迎接新气象，寄望新的开始、成长与希望。

“Beginning of Spring” marks the start of a new cycle according to the 24 Solar Terms.
It signifies the return of warmth and rising energy after winter.
Lìchūn is often seen as a moment of transition — welcoming renewal, fresh energy, and the promise of growth ahead.

冬至不行船（Tang-chi³ m̄⁷ khì⁵ chûn⁵）
（演出时以潮州方言念出）
（During performance the phrase is recited in Teowchew)

日短至，阳初生：冬至象征转折与新开始。在马来西亚，冬至被视为「小过年」，家人会在一起聚餐，象征团圆、圆满，也寓意「长一岁」

“Winter solstice” marks the shortest day of the year according to 24 solar terms. In Malaysia, we celebrate as the “Little New Year”, emphasizes family reunion and completeness, symbolizing renewal and new beginnings.

“Only by allowing these questions to remain in circulation within the public cultural sphere open to discussion, debate, and continual repositioning can the cultural life of the 24 Festive Drums truly become what the programme describes: a practice of moving forward through change, rather than one that ends with completion.”

Thanks to Ngo Tjer Hong for sharing this reflection.

As the author observes, This show raises far more questions than it actually answers.”This reading resonates deeply with the question the director posed at the very beginning:
What is 24 Festive Drums?

It was along this line of inquiry that this work came into being.

If you have seen the performance, we invite you to savour this essay carefully, and allow the spirit of "Drum Up JB" to continue fermenting and unfolding.

If you have not, you are equally welcome to approach our three-year labour of devotion through this third-person perspective.
