Evening Event: Chinese Symbolism

3rd February, 2010 (Wednesday) 

EPWS is proud that Ms. Marybelle Hu shares with us her knowledge of Chinese symbolism. In China symbols play an important role in everyday life and even more during festivals like the upcoming Chinese New Year. This is a great opportunity to find out more about mysterious and also common symbols. Afterwards you will surely know what gift to bring to the next invitation of your Chinese business partner, to a Chinese family dinner or to a dear friend.

 Some of the below topics will be covered during this lecture: 

• What is the meaning of those traditional symbols?
• How are the symbols applied in everyday life?
• How are the symbols represented in arts, crafts, furniture and accessories?
