DESCRIPTION:Seasonal festivals in China were important occasions for the
  creation\, display\, and presentation of gifts of art featuring specifi
 c\, timely images. For example\, paintings depicting a bouquet of pomegr
 anate flowers\, calamus leaves\, and a branch of moxa were appropriate o
 nly for the fifth day of the fifth lunar month\, also known as the Drago
 n Boat Festival. Representations of roosters\, considered lucky\, were a
 ssociated with the Chinese New Year\, while images of a peony and butter
 fly signaled the Birthday of the Flowers. This lecture by Jan Stuart\, k
 eeper of Asia at the British Museum\, examines the close bond between a 
 wide range of pictorial arts and their temporal conventions. She explore
 s the role of art in marking the passage of the yearly cycle and how it 
 was folded into China’s abiding rhythms of nature and human culture.
