The United Nations celebrates Chinese Language Day on April 20th each year, commemorating both Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese characters, and Gu Yu (or "Grain Rain"), one of the 24 solar terms of the Chinese culture. Let’s celebrate the beauty, history, and cultural richness of the Chinese language together! We will make, paint, and fly kites, and have Chinese snacks to give out. We will learn how to kick Shuttlecocks (jian zi), one of the oldest Chinese sports and other games. Let’s honor one of the world’s oldest languages and its impact on global culture! All are welcome! And everything is free.Please join us Friday, April 18th, 2025, from 1:30-3:30 PM!Learn more at http://bgsu.presence.io/event/united-nations-chinese-language-day-celebration
