Following is a question by the Hon Chan Cho-kwong and a reply by the Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Miss Rosanna Law, in the Legislative Council today (May 27):
Question:
President,
To enable sustained learning of Chinese culture among the public, the CCPO has set up a dedicated website and social media platforms to pool together online resources relating to Chinese culture from various museums, along with accessible short videos covering Chinese literature, history, philosophy, music, art, folklore and intangible cultural heritage, etc. The videos introduced, for example, Tang poetry, classical Chinese texts and ancient thinkers in an “edutainment” format with a view to transforming traditional cultural content into learning resources that are easier for the public to comprehend and absorb. To date, the short videos have nearly 800 000 cumulative views, providing a sustained learning resource for both the public and schools. To deepen public understanding of the Lingnan culture, the CCPO conducts on-campus lectures and workshops using resources from local and Guangzhou museums, and integrates the Lingnan music activities into school music lessons. Additionally, the “Chinese Culture in Hong Kong Gardens” series guides the public through the Lingnan Garden within Lai Chi Kok Park, offering an immersive experience of Qing-era Lingnan architecture and landscape design.
