[PAST EVENT] Chinese Poetry Reading
April 9, 2015
2pm - 6pm
Poetry recitation is a long-celebrated past-time in Chinese culture. In ancient times, nobles would take turns reciting poems or composing their own at parties. Today, memorizing poetry by the master poets of the Tang Dynasty or other illustrious classics is still considered a sign of one's education and intelligence. This semester, the Chinese Studies Program and the William & Mary Confucius Institute are bringing this esteemed tradition to our own hallowed halls. We invite you to Washington Hall room 317 on April 9th at 4 pm to hear talented students of the Chinese Studies Program prove their skill by partaking in this ancient art. Participating students may provide their own music, accompanying slideshow, or other props, and register for the event by filling out {{https://forms.wm.edu/19966, this form}} no later than April 7th. Pizza and Chinese finger food from Peter Chang will be provided!
