A snake-themed exhibit featured at the ongoing exhibition celebrating the Year of the Snake at Shanghai Library East. 

An ongoing exhibition at Shanghai Library East is celebrating the Year of the Snake with a display of 270 snake-themed artworks. The exhibition, which is taking place through March 2, explores snake-related myths, legends, history and modern interpretations.

Co-hosted by Shanghai Library, Shanghai Artists' Association and Shanghai Animation and Cartoon Association, this marks the third consecutive year of Chinese zodiac-themed exhibitions at the library.

As one of the 12 animals in the traditional Chinese zodiac, the snake is widely represented in Chinese culture, symbolizing intelligence, rejuvenation and agility. The exhibition features a diverse array of works, including paintings, cartoons, illustrations, engravings and digital art, created by established artists like Dai Dunbang and Zheng Xinyao, star artists on social media, and art students. The exhibits were selected from more than 6,000 submissions from home and abroad.

Additionally, the library has also introduced snake-themed furnishings and decorations, along with a new interactive game that brings some of the featured artworks to life.
