Chinese New Year
Date: 6-21 February 2016
Make the Year of the Monkey your year to read two fascinating books on Chinese culture and civilization, recently acquired by the Library. Consult the Library catalogue for availability.
Chinese Fairy Tales & Fantasies: a beautifully illustrated collection of stories, spanning two millennia of storytelling, which illuminates the beliefs and traditions that have shaped Chinese society. Each magical tale, whether depicting a wise judge, a poor family struggling to outwit a corrupt bureaucrat, or an insect coming to the aid of a human, reflects one of the three core Chinese philosophies: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism (Moss Roberts, Folio Society).
The Dynasties of China: an exhilarating journey through three and a half millennia of Chinese imperial civilisation. ( Bamber Gascoigne, Folio Society).
Visit the Gala Event hosted by Maynooth Student Union and organised by members of the Chinese Society, international students and students from Chinese Studies.
