CNY Chinese Culture Center

Happy Chinese New Year from CNYCCC!

Happy New Year from all of us at CNYCCC!

Award-winning Chinese artist Zhinan Jiang is displaying 25 of his masterful watercolor works in a free exhibit at Rock Center. Jiang has received noteworthy attention for his artwork in China and is an Associate Professor of Fine Arts at the prestigious Tsinghua University, and is currently serving as a visiting professor at SUNY Oswego. It was on a previous trip to Syracuse that his artistic focus shifted to depictions of everyday life, due to his involvement in a near death... car accident. Holiday hours are 11AM-5PM on Tues 11/19-Wed 11/20 and Wed 11/27-Fri 11/29. For more information, call the Rock Center at (315) 634-9494.

As leaves change from green to red here in Syracuse, our tea changes from green to black. But black tea hasn’t always been a favorite among Chinese. Check out this great article from Sixth Tone on the history of black tea and how it's come to be the tea of choice once the weather turns cold.
