Project description
Wenhua means culture in Mandarin Chinese, and this term corresponds to what is represented in the "Wenhua Gong" logo (Palace of Culture), recalling a Palace of the Forbidden City named that way.
Thus this project takes advantage of the Moon Festival celebration to highlight Chinese culture and to discover the secrets of this thousand-year-old culture, mysterious to many Europeans.
The fair will be organized around a playful route allowing both the youngest and adults to discover this ancestral culture. The celebration of the Moon Festival will reveal its secrets. Consequently, everything is done to create a fairly free and coherent visitor route.
The aim is to present diverse and varied elements of Chinese culture so that everyone can discover elements that interest them. It will be possible to attend an exhibition, lectures, concerts, tasting workshops, martial arts demonstrations and workshops, etc.
The activities planned over these two days:
- show "The Journey of the Little Chinese Note" (Saturday and Sunday at 17:00)
- Guqin concert (traditional Chinese zither)
- music and storytelling show
- introductory Mandarin workshop (Sunday at 15:00)
