Monday 08/09: Lacquer fans
Lacquer fans, known as "æŒæ" (qÄ« shĂ n) in Chinese, are traditional Chinese artefacts that combine the art of fan-making with the intricate technique of lacquerware. Lacquer fans are made using a meticulous process that involves applying multiple layers of lacquer â a natural varnish derived from the sap of the lacquer tree â onto the fanâs surface. The fan frames are typically crafted from high-quality materials such as bamboo or wood, ensuring sturdiness and elegance. The designs on lacquer fans often feature intricate patterns, traditional Chinese motifs and elaborate paintings that can include landscapes, flowers, birds and scenes from classical literature.

Tuesday 09/09: Wu Shu
Wushu known as æŠæŻ (wÇshĂč) or Kung fu, is a Chinese martial art. It integrates concepts and forms from various traditional and modern Chinese martial arts. This definition, which appears in the statutes of the European Wushu Federation (EWUF), means that Chinese martial arts bring together a wide variety of practices within a historical and cultural identity.
Â
Wednesday 10/09: Calligraphy
Calligraphy, known as "äčŠæł" (shĆ« fÇ) in Chinese, is a revered form of visual art in China that involves writing Chinese characters with a brush and ink. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, it is not only a means of communication but also a profound artistic expression that reflects the writerâs emotions, thoughts and personality. The rhythm, flow and composition of the strokes are crucial elements that convey the artistâs inner feelings and state of mind. Each piece of calligraphy is a unique work of art, showcasing the calligrapherâs skill and creativity.
Â
Thursday 11/09: Tai Chi
Tai Chi, known as "ć€Șæ" (tĂ i jĂ) in Chinese, is a Chinese martial art that has become one of the worldâs most popular forms of exercise. Tai Chi uses soft, slow and continuous movements to train the body and focus the mind. Studies have shown that practising Tai Chi can improve oneâs health, reduce stress and provide relief for ailments such as high blood pressure, arthritis and osteoporosis.
