An exhibition featuring studies of ancient Chinese was unveiled at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) on Saturday.
Nine studies by contemporary artists based on nine ancient Chinese literati were featured at the event. Meaning "infinity" in traditional Chinese culture, the number nine's cultural meaning accounts for why this number of scholars was chosen.
An extra room, themed on the "future", was also displayed.
Zhu Jing, deputy director of the NCPA, Li Yapeng, veteran actor and founder of the Smile Angel Foundation and Chinese scholar Yu Dan attended the exhibition. The guests discussed the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture and its infusion with modern lifestyle.
Running until Nov 11, the event aims to present a uniquely Chinese aesthetic appreciation.
