This exhibition is highlighting charming elements of Chinese characters through interacting with concrete objects, video and music.
Chinese characters are a group of fairies endowed with great charms. They record the hardship of drastic historical changes as well as the prosperity of peaceful and flourishing times. Loaded with the wisdom and sentiments of the ancient Chinese, Chinese characters show what beauty has meant to the Chinese people and how beauty has been expressed by them.
We hope that the good essence of Chinese culture can be inherited and the vitality of Chinese characters grows every day. May the wisdom of Chinese characters bring you joy everyday!
