# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Indian Calendar Art: Cutting and pasting the imagery as decoration breaks the premise that it is something to pray before, leaving a picture no wall will take.
# - Yuefenpai: Borrowing the qipao and the calendar frame while skipping the rubbed skin loses the softness of the originals and yields a garish copy.
