Happy Lunar New Year from the USC US-China Institute!
Poetry Textual Memory in the Chinese Garden
The Huntington will be hosting an all-day symposium entitled “Poetry & Textual Memory in the Chinese Garden.”
Where
Poetry and Textual Memory in the Chinese Garden is a one-day symposium that explores the poetic context of gardens as well as the context of the garden in poetry. Poetic inscriptions and names provide insight into the "soul" of the garden, enhancing the spirit of leisure and pleasure, ultimately revealing the owner's depth of knowledge and refinement. In turn, gardens are sites for poetic creations, and the written word gives permanence to the temporal nature of physical structures.
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2009
