1/ “Early Chinese Photography Collection of Moonchu Foundation” Roving Exhibition
| Date: | 2026/12/1 (Tuesday) to 2026/12/31 (Thursday) |
| Time: | Library Opening Hours |
| Venue: | Shui Wo Street Public Library |
| Description: | Photographs capture transient moments. As they are duplicated, the moments are preserved, rendering history tangible through visual documentation and allowing one to visualise scenes that are long gone. The Chinese photography collection of the Moonchu Foundation held by the Hong Kong Museum of History includes more than 20,000 photographic works and related books and periodicals. The majority date from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, documenting significant historical events and military campaigns alongside urban landscapes and folk customs of the period from both macro and micro perspectives. This exhibition presents selected photographs from this collection to reveal the visage of China a century ago. |
1/ Music Office Music Exhibition – A Rendezvous with the Guqin
| Date: | 2026/10/17 (Saturday) to 2026/10/29 (Thursday) |
| Time: | Library Opening Hours |
| Venue: | Shui Wo Street Public Library |
| Description: | With a history dating back around 3,000 years, the qin, or guqin as this Chinese zither is more commonly called today, is one of the oldest plucked musical instruments in China. The guqin ranks first among the traditional four arts of Chinese literati, along with chess, calligraphy and painting. Occupying a distinctive position in Chinese culture, the art of guqin music was designated a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO in 2003 and has thus been recognised as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. This exhibition will bring you a wonderful world of guqin music. This exhibition is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organizing an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.
