| Venue: | City Hall Public Library (Extension Activities Room) |
| Description: | This subject talk is one of the events of The 4th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area Culture and Arts Festival. Hong Kong is hosting the festival for the first time, organising and coordinating 260 performances and exchange activities to be held across the "9+2" cities of the Greater Bay Area. The festival aims to showcase the vibrant and diverse cultural richness of the region and foster cultural exchange and cooperation among the cities. For detailed information about the festival, please visit www.gbacxlo.gov.hk. The popularity of Hong Kong’s cheongsam culture can date back to the early 20th century when politicians, merchants, teachers and students, ladies of prominent families as well as singers, film stars and Chinese opera performers began to wear the dress. With a large number of tailors coming to Hong Kong in the late 1940s, the cheongsam became a fashionable garment that was highly sought after in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, after a century’s passing down and changes along the way, the cheongsam remains hugely popular in Hong Kong. In this talk, you will learn more about the cheongsam for men and women in Hong Kong, including its history, craft, legacy, the change and continuity in terms of social practices, as well as its preservation as an intangible cultural heritage. |
Exploring Tea Culture of Hong Kong Through the Glorious Years
Other Talks / Workshops /Subject Talk Series on Hong Kong Memory (2025/26) /Activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series
| Date: | 2025/11/16 (Sunday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | Hong Kong has been a place where East meets West since the 19th Century. On this piece of land, tea culture has a long history and has stood the test of time and integrated into the lives of local people. From teahouses in earlier times to the trend of tea drinking today, not only has the tea culture of Hong Kong captured the essence of the traditional Chinese tea culture, it has also established its own unique style under a pluralistic cultural environment. Changes in the habits of tea drinking have also truthfully reflected the changes in our society and lifestyle. Whether you are having tea with your family and friends or enjoying a cuppa by yourself, tea has become an important medium through which people connect and exchange with each other. This talk will explore the changes in the tea culture of Hong Kong over the past hundred years and how the culture has integrated into the lives of Hong Kong people. |
