To promote and enhance awareness and appreciation of China's rich cultural heritage among youngsters, PolyU is organising a Chinese Culture Festival in 2024, which is also one of the celebrations of the 30th anniversary of PolyU’s renaming.
The Festival is set to launch a series of events from March 2024, covering different art forms and themes. The first event featured a 2-week-long artwork exhibition organised by PolyU and co-organised by Tiangong University's International Innovation Center of Chinese Traditional Culture and Artistry Inheritance. Eight artists from Tianjin displayed their masterpieces. They included the artwork from Prof. Zheng Yong's Studio’s lacquerware; Three unique intangible cultural heritages of Tianjin (Clay Figurines Zhang, Kite Wei, and Yucheng Hao New Year Paintings); Hezhen Homemade Incense; painted pottery from the Guanzhao Xuan; Zhao’s Gourd-making; and Tianjin Musical Instrument Zhang. These masterpieces showcase the exquisite beauty and value of Chinese culture. During the exhibition period, a number of guided tours were held and over 2000 visitors, including PolyU staff, teachers, students and the public, came to visit the exhibition. A number of media from mainland China and Hong Kong were also attracted to the exhibition for interviews. In addition to the art exhibition, PolyU also organized expert lecture and a series of workshops related to traditional Chinese art, which were well received by PolyU staff, teachers, students and the public.
