Happy Lunar New Year of the Ox!

The Library was flooded with couplets with lucky blessings in the past two days.

Couplet writing is a one of the traditional ways for welcoming Lunar New Year. People inherited many different types of traditions and customs for thousands of years. Experience the Chinese culture and feel the vibes of the Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year Exhibition will be held until 26 Feb 2021 in the Library. We look forward to seeing you!
