EAST MEETS WEST CLUB

Go, Chinese Book Reading and Arts & Crafts Fusion

Since our program started last fall, we have received tremendous support from our Lexington middle and high school Mandarin teachers and students. This spring Go Game, Chinese Calligraphy, reading and discussing Chinese Books, along with Arts & Crafts activities will be brought into our Fusion Cultural Club.  It will be a fun and interactive classroom environment, witnessing older peers engage in activities that kids can aspire to do in the future will serve as a fantastic source of encouragement and enriching experience.

Go Game (Weiqi)

Go (Weiqi) is a strategic board game originating from ancient China. Played on a gridded board with black and white stones, the goal is to control more territory than the opponent. Players take turns placing stones, aiming to surround and capture their opponent’s pieces. Go is known for its profound strategic complexity, cultural significance, and global appeal, with professional players competing internationally.

Chinese Calligraphy

Chinese Calligraphy is a traditional art form involving brush and ink to create expressive and visually appealing Chinese characters. With various styles like regular, running, and cursive scripts, calligraphy emphasizes the balance and rhythm of strokes. It holds cultural significance, reflecting the beauty of written language and fostering a connection between tradition and modern creativity.
