Symbolism and Use of Dragon Patterns on Textiles in the Mactaggart Art Collection
Date: Friday, February 12, 2021
Time: 2:30 pm MST
Format: Online lecture via Zoom (link sent to those who register in advance of the lecture)
Join the UAlberta Museums and Dr. Isabel Pifen Chueh, Curator of the Mactaggart Art Collection, this Lunar New Year to discover dragon patterns in the Mactaggart Art Collection and the exhibition Dragons on the Tibetan Plateau.
Demystifying Dragons dives into the details of dragon patterns. Used as a symbol of power during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, dragon patterns on textiles were highly valued. Due to their value, they were also highly regulated by the Imperial Court.
This lecture will explore the variations of dragon patterns found in the Mactaggart Art Collection and discuss the social structure around which these designs were worn.

Dongzhi - Winter Solstice Festival
2020-12-12 08:00 - 2020-12-21 17:00
The Chinese Benevolent Association and Chinese Community organizations are excited to announce the upcoming Winter Solstice Festival to celebrate Dongzhi from Edmonton’s Chinatown. It is an online event with a short launch of the Festival on December 12th and will run through the weeks leading up to the actual date of Winter Solstice this year, December 21st. Join us online between December 12th to December 21st as we present a variety of arts and crafts, tongyuan and dumpling making demonstrations, educational talks on Dongzhi, and cultural performances. For program schedules and details, please go to WinterSolsticeYEG.ca.

冬至 Dongzhi (Mandarin) or Dongzi (Cantonese) means “winter’s peak / arrival of winter / extreme of winter”. 過冬至節 (Cantonese) or 过冬至节 (Mandarin) is Winter Solstice Festival in English. Celebration of winter solstice is centuries old and arose out of the tradition of people preparing for colder months ahead on the day of winter solstice. Winter Solstice Festival is celebrated on the shortest day, or the longest night of the year.

Another exciting feature of the Festival is a Winter Solstice Photo Contest. We invite you to send us your best photo of your homemade or home-cooked tongyuan and/or dumplings by you and/or your family for a chance to win wonderful prizes sponsored by Edmonton Chinatown businesses. Visit WinterSolsticeYEG.ca to complete an entry form for a chance to win!

Feel free to help us to promote the Winter Solstice Festival as broadly as possible.

Let’s celebrate Dongzhi (Winter Solstice) together while being apart!

Even more exciting, we’ve doubled our participating businesses from last year, with 9 new establishments joining us for a total of 16! As in the past, Chinatown Dining Week will highlight some of the diverse cuisines available in the neighbourhood – including regional Chinese specialties, Filipino, Indian, and Thai.
In addition to businesses located in commercial Chinatown clustered around 97 Street, we’ve also added two restaurants situated in so-called “Chinatown South”, or the area just east of Canada Place. Those who attended our summer walking tours in previous years will know that Edmonton actually boasts two Chinatowns, and though the Quarters is now largely home to cultural and family associations, some retail and hospitality hidden gems remain.
Participating restaurants have put together special $18 fixed price dinner menus that will be offered after 5pm from January 9 – 19, 2020. Each menu will feature two courses. Participating restaurants include (*denotes new participant):

*All Happy Family, 10013 106 Avenue
Asian Express Hot Pot, 10586 100 Street
Gui Lin Noodle House, 10626 97 Street
Kanto 98 St. Eatery, 10636 98 Street

This year, we’ve also added a new category that now enables Chinatown Dining Week to feature other types of businesses that may not focus on the sit-down experience. These establishments will offer $10 takeaway packages that will be available during regular business hours from January 9-19, 2020. Participating businesses include (*denotes new participant):
