Reviving 5000 Years of Chinese Civilization Sunday, January 18 2:00 pm - 2:45 pm
When the European renaissance was taking place 6 to 7 centuries ago, very few people knew about it. In fact, the term "renaissance" wasn't coined until the peak of the renaissance had already passed.
But now the renaissance of Chinese Culture is happening in our time
and we have the opportunity to witness it and be part of it.
The Connecticut Chinese Culture Association will present a slide
and video presentation on the essence and uniqueness of the traditional
Chinese culture.
