This is an exhibition of Chinese culture in which calligraphy, the “sign” tradition and basic knowledge about China will be displayed and introduced in three booths:
- In the calligraphy booth, you will be able to see people writing in brush and to get a small souvenir of your own name in Chinese characters;
- in the Chinese Quiz, small prizes will be sent if you can answer 10 questions correctly; and
- in the “sign” booth, you will be able to learn your own Chinese astrological “sign” and the meaning behind it according to “ba gua”.
There will also be a performance including Chinese folk music and taiji from 12.10 to 12.30pm.
Join us to learn and have fun! Have a look at our exhibition: it will be a good chance to experience Chinese culture for yourself.
