Special Programmes for Exhibition "300 Years of Hakka Kung Fu: Digital Vision of its Legacy and Future"

1. Symposium on "Heritage in the Digital Age"

Globalisation has buffeted traditional cultures in many ways, but digital technology can be a useful device to safeguard their existence, especially in the area of intangible cultural heritage which is transmitted orally and from person to person. In this Symposium, academics and experts will explore how heritage can be melded with technology to prevent it from extinction through new ways of interpretation, conservation of traditional features and continuous renewal.

2. Hakka Kung Fu Workshop

After three hundred years of development, Hakka kung fu has become one of the most distinctive, important and representative martial art systems of South China. In this workshop, local masters of Hakka kung fu will demonstrate fighting routines of various sects and schools, in the form of barehanded combat or fighting with weapons. There will be an interactive session in which members of the audience will be invited to follow the masters' moves in order to feel the vigorousness latent in this type of martial art.
