Year of the Dragon: Chinese Culture, Myths and Legends at the Mary Jacobs Library

 Feb 15, 2012

Experience a presentation on traditional Chinese culture through history, literature and dance at the Mary Jacobs Library on Tuesday, March 13 at 7 pm.

For 5,000 years, Chinese culture was heralded as a divine gift. Its values of benevolence, honor, etiquette, wisdom, and sincerity were perpetuated for generations and dynasties, all the way into the contemporary era.
The presentation aims to bridge an understanding of the ancient Chinese civilization with the modern world, and thereby share some of the most classic stories in Chinese history. The presentations uses Shen Yun Performing Arts and Chinese dance as a cultural lens, both to meaningfully bring this culture into the modern day, and to explain how the virtues of Chinese history are being perpetuated by modern artists. This will surely be an educational and inspiring session.
