In harmony with our ongoing Chinese Qing Dynasty(17-19th Century) Chinese fan art exhibition, "Whispers of Elegance," we united to celebrate the timeless connection between ink art, tea ceremony, and the melodies of Guqin and flute that date back to 10th century China. Participants journeyed through the ages, immersing themselves in the enchanting world of Guqin and the profound ritual of Matcha.
