山河跳！是由1985年出生的双胞胎艺术家黄山、黄河组成的艺术小组。她们不避讳谈论50年代至今依然处于半地下状态的民间话题，探讨兴趣穿梭古今中外。
Mountain River Jump! is an artist duo founded by identical twin sisters Huang Shan and Huang He, who were born in 1985. They are fearless in discussing subjects that can only be talked about behind closed doors and have broad interests in the ancient and the modern.
动物成语占卜卡 Cards of Chinese Animal Idioms
49张一套的占卜卡牌 A set of 49 divination cards,

山河跳！选取了汉语中与动物有关的常用成语、俗语，重新设计制作成用以占卜或给人以当下启示的49张纸牌，从中我们可以看到中国古人是怎样以动物来比喻人的处境，同样的类比方式在《周易》中也有体现。49张卡分为7组，从“龙生九子”开始，到“乌飞兔走”描述时间飞逝结束，有个体的成长、历练与循环之意。纸牌占卜的方式在今天同处流行文化与神秘文化的塔罗牌里常见，而中文的“卜筮”、卜问也有源远流长的历史。山河跳！以“纸牌”这种轻质和图形化的方式测试东方文化基因和“占卜”结合的结果，也传达对泛个人的心理需要、叙事方式的好奇。
Mountain River Jump! has chosen 49 Chinese animal idioms from the dictionary, then illustrated for them and made them into 49 divinatory cards. We can see how our ancestors described human’s situation through animal idioms. This kind of metaphors can be also found in Zhou Yi. These 49 cards can be distributed into 7 groups, from 0 The dragon’s nine distinguished sons to 48 Time flies like a golden crow and runs like a jade rabbit, including different stages of personal growth. For example, some of the cards are telling stories about newborn, development, fights, reflections and rebirth. Divinatory cards are common in human culture while Tarot Cards are the most popular. In China, there is also a long history of divination. Mountain River Jump! is using Cards of Chinese Animal Idioms to see what will come out when eastern cultural genes mix with fortunetelling in the context of the contemporary world. Meanwhile, they have strong curiosity towards human psychology and of individuals’ narration.

Mountain River Jump!is an artist duo founded by identical twin sisters Huang Shan and Huang He, who were born in 1985. The two collaborate as a group while have been working independently on their own solo projects for years. They are fearless in discussing subjects that can only be talked about behind closed doors, such as samsara, astrology, card divination, ghost stories, and mythology. They have broad interests in the ancient and the modern, and attempt to apply ‘cultural psychoanalysis’, at both the linguistic and visual levels, to their study of the reality of the present. They also examine mainstream and official discourses through their research of folklore, analyzing the social-power relationship. Their artistic practices cover a range of formats, including static visual works, moving images, sound, lectures, workshops, and divination behaviors while emphasizing the importance of the communications between people.
