Seal Engraving:Cornerstone of Chinese Fine Arts
The art of seal engraving is a cornerstone of Chinese fine arts. The seal was originally used as a signature or sign of authority, but it came to be used by all social classes and in much of Asia. The Seal Engravers' Society of Xiling in Zhejiang Province, central China, which was founded a century ago, preserves the art of seal engraving along with approximately a hundred other specialized institutions.
Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra
Founded in 1977, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra is a large-scale professional orchestra with 85 musicians. Its performance and repertoire covers Chinese folk music, large-scale contemporary works and commissioned works in various styles. Apart from over 100 regular concerts, the Orchestra also organized music festivals like Hong Kong Huqin Festival, Hong Kong Drum Music Festival and Hong Kong Guzheng Festival.
The Orchestra was often invited to perform at internationally renowned music halls or for international festivals in Oceania, America, Europe or Asia. To cultivating new musicians and developing new spectators, the Orchestra also established the Hong Kong Children Chinese Orchestra and Hong Kong Junior Chinese Orchestra.
The Orchestra won a number of prizes, including The Most Outstanding Achievement in Advancing Contemporary Chinese Music awarded by the International Society for Contemporary Music, Most Outstanding Achievement in Advancing Asian Contemporary Music awarded by the Asian Composers League, and the two awards in the Instrumental Music – Album category and the Instrumental Music – Performance category at the 6th China Gold Record Awards. The Orchestra also set a record when it organized most performers to play erhu and bamboo flute together.
The design is first sketched on paper, and then engraved on stone, in reverse, with a knife. In addition to mastery of traditional calligraphy, the art of engraving requires a high degree of virtuosity, since the artist works on a tiny surface area where every curve, every thickness of line counts. The very diverse motifs are the fruit of the artist's imagination and culture.
The overwhelmingly large variety mainly comes from the emperors hosting a banquet of 100 dishes each meal[9]. A countless number of imperial kitchen staff and concubines were involved in the food preparation process. Over time, many dishes became part of the everyday-citizen culture. Some of the highest quality restaurants with recipes close to the dynastic periods include Fangshan restaurant in Beihai Park Beijing and the Oriole Pavilion[9]. Arguably all branches of Hong Kong eastern style or even American Chinese food are in some ways rooted from the original dynastic cuisines.
