Happy Lunar New Year to all members of the UC Community who celebrate! According to Chinese Zodiac, 2015 is the Year of the Sheep\/Goat\/Ram.<\/p>\n

On February 13th Langsam Library hosted a wonderful Lunar New Party. Sounds of traditional Chinese\u00a0tunes performed by Tsun-Hui Hung,\u00a0Adjunct Professor of Musicology at CCM, set the tone for the gathering. Dean Xuemao Wang welcomed the guests and talked about the exciting upcoming events and projects at UC Libraries. Picking up on the lunar theme, Head of Archives and Rare Books Kevin Grace talked about moon folklore and New Year customs in the Appalachian region. Probably the most memorable part of the program was the Lion Dance presented by students of the Chinese Language School.\u00a0Professor Gergana Ivanova introduced the audience to haiku and following the presentation of the artist Frank Satogata, whose art combines calligraphy and abstract impressionism, several members of the audience wrote their own haiku poems\u00a0and shared them with the public.\u00a0After enjoying the food the guests participated in multiple activities, including calligraphy, karaoke, origami, and games. Several guests recorded video greetings\u00a0for family and friends using the props in the STRC green screen room. The event also featured an exhibit of Chinese paper cutting.<\/p>\n

The party definitely gave us enough warm memories to cherish during the cold days that followed.\u00a0Please enjoy glimpses of the party, whether you\u00a0were part of the celebration or missed it.<\/p>\n
