CHINESE TRADITIONAL ARCHERY EXPERIENCE

One World Spirit Association, in collaboration with the Traditional Chinese Archery Alliance, held a Shoot the Five Venoms event in July with 50 people taking part in a three-hour trial workshop. According to Chinese folklore, the five venoms (namely the snake, scorpion, centipede, toad and lizard) are awakened by the summer heat that arrives after Tuen Ng Festival. It therefore became customary for archers to put up drawings of the five venoms as archery targets, shooting them to free the world of poison. [PHOTOS COURTESY OF OWS.]

AT THE CANTONESE OPERA

Adults and children, aged five years to 90, took part in the Sing for Love Annual Cantonese Opera Show on August 15 at DB Community Hall, DB North. DB’s Cantonese Opera Training Programme, co-organised by Sing For Love and Love.Together@DB, is open to everyone who lives or studies in DB. Members get together to practice and receive training every week at Cub Siena. [PHOTOS BY Richard Gordon – www.richardgordonphotography.com.]
