龍 Long, also known as the Chinese Dragon, is a mythical creature among the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. It has always been regarded as a symbol of immense power, authority, and wisdom in Chinese mythology. Unlike the fire-breathing dragons of Western lore, the Chinese Dragon, Loong 龍, is a benevolent creature often associated with water, controlling the weather and the seas. In terms of physical appearance, Long 龍 is typically depicted as a serpentine creature with the body of a snake, the scales of a fish, the claws of an eagle, and the antlers of a stag. They also have a pair of large, pearl-like eyes and a beard. Sometimes, Long 龍 is shown with a pearl under its chin or in its claws, symbolizing wisdom, power, and wealth. Despite its fearsome appearance, Long 龍 is revered as a bringer of good fortune and prosperity.
2024 is the year of 龍Long, to celebrate the New Year, hosting a unique Calligratherapy Workshop for your team will foster a sense of cultural appreciation and create a memorable experience for everyone involved.
Participants will have the opportunity to craft Spring couplets, a traditional practice believed to bring prosperity and good fortune. Immerse in the techniques of Chinese calligraphy, practice brush strokes, and create stunning ink art inspired by the majestic 龍 Long, Chinese Dragon.
