The Ancient Chinese Landscape Painting Exhibition themed “Picturesque Rivers and Mountains” kicked off the 2023 “Happy Chinese New Year” Festival activities on Friday.
At the opening ceremony, 40 landscape paintings (replicas) of China’s Ming and Qing Dynasties featuring the unique artistic charm of ancient Chinese painting were on display at the China Cultural Center in Laos.
Monxay Laomuasong, secretary-general of Lao People’s Revolutionary Youth Union’s Central Committee, said this festival made him feel the profoundness of Chinese culture and the unique charm of Chinese landscapes.
People can have a deep experience with Chinese culture through various activities in the festival, such as watching traditional Chinese lion dance, writing Chinese character “Fu” or “blessing” in English, and wearing the traditional Chinese clothing, Li Yiping, director of the China Cultural Center in Laos, told Xinhua on Sunday.
