Lunar New Year Talk: Decoding the Chinese Almanac's Predictions for 2011 January 29, 2011

What does the Year of the Rabbit hold in store? Joanna C. Lee and Ken Smith (co-authors of the 'Pocket Chinese Almanac') return to decode the almanac's predictions for 2011 and share a range of New Year's traditions designed to protect your household. Their presentation highlights the work of UNESCO-recognized folk artist Tai Liping, a 20th-generation master of nianhua ("New Year's pictures"), the paper wall hangings replaced each lunar year for good luck and defense against any specific tribulations predicted by the almanac. Each participant will receive a free copy of the Pocket Chinese Almanac.
