Meeting 12 March 2016



Introduction

This, the 80th meeting of the London Youlan Qin Society, was held in the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

Some members renewed their annual subscriptions, and four new members joined the Society.

Charles Tsua brought an example of his calligraphy, which he had mounted onto a scroll, and which was hung next to the LYQS banner. He explained how he mounted it. Mounting needs to be done carefully, because the xuan paper used for the artwork is thin and easily becomes crinkled.
