SUMMARY:The Qingming Festival and Respecting the Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:From South China to the American West the tradition of respecting the ancestors was carried out during the Qingming (Bright and Clear) Festival during which time the ancestors are remembered\, the tomb is swept\, and food offerings are made.  The fourth century B.C. philosopher\, Confucius\, stressed the importance of performing the proper rituals.  The preparation of the body for burial\, the funeral procession\, the burial itself\, and the banquet were all part of the prescribed activities.  Join us in this presentation by Professor Emerita Sue Fawn Chung on the Qingming Festival and respecting the ancestors from the distant past to the present on Wednesday\, April 6th at 7 p.m. (PT). \nSue Fawn Chung was born\, raised\, and educated in Los Angeles.  Her mother\, Jane Chung\, was an officer in China Society and her father\, Walter Chung\, was an early supporter of the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California.  She received her doctorate from UC Berkeley in Asian History\, Asian American History\, and Chinese Art History.  She taught for almost forty years at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas.  She is currently writing a book on Chinese railroad labor contractors in the American West in the late 19th century. \n

SUMMARY:China Society: David Hugus on Chinese Rank Badges from the Daoguang Period
DESCRIPTION:China Society’s March Zoom program will be Chinese rank badges from the Daoguang period to post Imperial era. Badges from this period (1821-early twentieth century) are of great interest because they are the ones that form the majority of badges in private and most museum collections\, and other than modern reproductions\, the most likely to be on the market. They are the ones that can be both seen and purchased. This period in Chinese history is a very turbulent and trying period in Chinese history and the badges reflect these times. \nOur speaker\, David Hugus\, is the author of Chinese Rank Badges-Symbols of Power\, Wealth\, and Intellect in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is his third and final program on the evolution of design in Chinese rank badges and his fifth program on badges and the “ladder to the clouds” where the badges represented the rungs of the ladder. One does not need to have been present to the previous four programs to enjoy this coming program. However\, all four of the previous programs can be seen on China Society of Southern California’s You Tube site if interested.

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots of a Chinese American Family
DESCRIPTION:Lorraine Dong self-published her family’s history in 1976 as a Christmas present only for the eyes of her family. Six years later\, she wrote a narration for her brother\, Arthur Dong\, who was finishing his senior film project that was based on their mother’s life. In 1984\, that film\, Sewing Woman\, became the first Asian American film to be nominated for an Oscar®; it was in the category of Best Short Documentary. \nIt took another thirty-five years before Lorraine returned to her family history when the Square and Circle Club embarked on two service projects. One was to share their family histories for the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation’s “Immigrant Voices” website. The other was to share their families’ World War II veteran stories when Chinese American WWII veterans received the Congressional Gold Medal. \nLorraine Dong was born and raised in San Francisco Chinatown. She attended her local American and Chinese schools\, including San Francisco State\, until she ventured beyond to earn her PhD at the University of Washington in Seattle where she majored in Chinese language and literature. Lorraine’s current research is Asian American children’s literature\, specifically picture books.

SUMMARY:November Meeting – Ladder to the Clouds – A Presentation on Chinese Civil Service
DESCRIPTION:David Hugus is an expert collector of Mandarin Squares.  These are the rank badges used during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that prominently adorned Chinese robes of civil and military officials. He is the co-author with Beverly Jackson of the book  Ladder to the Clouds which featured the examination process to enter Dynastic civil service and the rank badges themselves.  He is also the author of a new book on Rank Badges that should be available in the coming months.\n\nDavid will talk about the examination process which was the “Ladder to the Clouds” for centuries in China.  By passing the exam anyone\, not just the rich\, could become a government official which was like achieving the “American Dream” only much better.  It meant social and economic wellbeing. It was a society based on meritocracy. The Chinese diplomats who came to America had passed the exam.  The early Chinese scholars who taught in American schools as well as any literate Chinese who came to America had studied the same Chinese classics that were the basis for the exam.  Even today in China and for Chinese in America the emphasis on education and passing exams such as the SAT are a legacy of the examination process of Dynastic China.\n\nIs the examination process inherent in Chinese DNA or is a characteristic that makes Chinese Chinese?

Made with fine materials\, exemplary techniques\, and superb artistry\, Asian luxury textiles were prized domestically and were central to global trade.\nThe exhibition traces the journeys of key works of art and the people who owned them and carried them across the world. Luxurious costumes of the court performed power\, while striking theater robes brought stage characters to life. Sturdy wall hangings and furniture covers transformed palaces\, temples\, and homes\, while shimmering tapestry-woven carpets were created as diplomatic gifts for foreign rulers. \nArtists borrowed techniques from near and far to appeal to the latest fashions in the developing global market. The extraordinary stories of these treasures of the collection take visitors on a journey across continents\, from the 1500s to today. Included in this talk will be two outstanding and historically important classical Persian carpets; velvet tent hunting fragments and some Kashmir shawls and hangings; several Chinese court robes and interior furnishings; and Japanese theatre robes and Meiji-era tapestries. \nPlease join our presenters\, curators Dr. Kimberly Masteller\, Dr. Ling-en Lu\, and Yayoi Shinoda in Kansas City as they present some of the textile masterworks in this special exhibition. \nAdmission is free for this program. \nRegistration: https://tinyurl.com/TmaSplendorFnC

SUMMARY:Chinese Family History Group of Southern California Webinar Series: Researching the World of Chinese Documents

He will discuss the possible value these have to our genealogical research as well as repositories such as archives\, libraries\, the internet\, and search strategies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area\, Tony King is of Toisanese roots. His ancestors immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800’s. Since entering retirement some ten years ago\, he has concentrated on searching out his Chinese roots. He has conducted research during extended stays in China\, as well as during trips to California\, Hawaii\, Oregon\, Washington\, New York\, and Canada.  Tony serves as a volunteer for FamilySearch\, consulting with patrons seeking assistance.

With exotic fan dancers\, magicians\, acrobats\, and singers imported from China\, he became the envy of fellow nightclubs in the 1930s to 50s\, including his big rival\, Charlie Low and the Forbidden City.” \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is free to Art Deco Society of Los Angeles members.

SUMMARY:China Society: A Pebble in the Sand: Burma/Myanmar by Pierre Odier
DESCRIPTION:May Zoom meeting will be on May 10 th \, the second Monday in May at 6:00P.M. \nA Pebble in the Sand \nPierre Odier\, one of my favorite speakers\, will share his latest volume of his A Pebble the Sand series\, Burma/Myanmar. His past programs have taken us to Tibet\, the Orient Express\, Mongolia\, some minority tribes in China. He focuses on the minority ethnic tribes of the Golden Triangle of Burma. This rugged area which includes tribes of headhunters is within walking distance of the Chinese border. Many of the tribes had ties with areas in China. One of Pierre’s great gifts is his ability to communicate and quickly connect with all kinds of people and his love of ethnic arts and crafts. He is not the ordinary tourist. Experience Burma though the eyes and photographs of Pierre and gain insights on ethnic people you would never imagine. \nBe sure to register for the Zoom program through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-pebble-in-the-sand-burmamyanmar-by-pierre-odier-tickets-152423399491
