In Chinese culture, a seal is more than a signature. Carved into stone, it can carry a name, a story, a piece of tradition.
This episode: Hongbaotang, part of Liulichang's cultural scene since 1997, where seal carving, Chinese painting and the Four Treasures of the Study come together. Our host traces the history of seal carving, browses the artworks on display, picks a piece of stone, and watches a craftsman bring it to life.
Here's the fun part β international visitors can have their English names carved into a traditional Chinese seal, a little blend of East and West to take home.
Just a short walk from JW Marriott Hotel Beijing Central. Hotel guests get special perks at select Liulichang stores with their room key β ask the Les Clefs d'Or concierge to arrange it.
Very much excited to be back at East Lake for the season ending FedEx Cup. Itβs not an easy task being here given the amazing strength in depth on the PGA Tour these days so the first couple days Iβll appreciate the opportunity before locking in and giving myself a shot at π#2 which would make a good year great.
As ever thx for the support along the way#TeamπΉ π jR
