The Qin, also known as the Guqin, is a Chinese musical instrument with over two thousand years of history. The art of Qin making, called zhuoqin, is an 1800-year-old contemporary art enjoyed by Qin players, virtually unchanged since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. During the second half of the 20th century, the art of zhuoqin was on the verge of extinction. Luckily, one line survived and flourished in Hong Kong. In 2014, Hong Kong’s art of zhuoqin was enlisted as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of China at the National Level. In this talk, the apprentices of Choi Chang Sau (also known as Lau Chang Sau, Representative Inheritor of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China at the National Level) will introduce the history of zhuoqin as a creative art form and the emergence of zhuoqin as a musicians’ art culture in Hong Kong. |

| Description: |
In the late Qing period of China, Hong Kong and Macau shared the doubly unique position in the Lingnan region. Both ports were the initial contact zones for the young Cantonese generation in the region to be exposed to foreign languages and western learning; both were the origins and nexus of exchange for the bourgeoning print culture, which was represented by the surge of new types of publications, such as bilingual dictionaries, language textbooks, newspapers and magazines. From this historical backdrop emerged a generation of Cantonese bilingual literati, who would in turn impact the diversifying linguistic landscape, print culture and educational environment in the region. The lecture unfolds a varied set of accessible and interesting primary sources recently found in digital archives in Hong Kong, China and the U.S., to engage the public audience in re-living the learning, working and expatriate experience of these late-Qing Cantonese bilinguals who made their very first steps in Hong Kong and Macau. The lecture will focalise two of such characters – Yung Wing (1828–1912), and Kwong Ki Chiu (1836 –1891), whose lives were deeply connected by the Chinese Education Mission to the U.S., and whose paths will shed lights on the historical moments when Lingnan literati reaches the World. |
