2024 白露節氣藝術養生沙龍
9月7日，聖地牙哥中華藝術學會（SDCACS）舉辦了白露節氣藝術養生沙龍。
我們很榮幸地邀請到知名畫家余春明教授與大家分享他對四季與藝術的深刻見解，並詳細講述了他的創作歷程，讓來賓對其作品背後的故事有了更深入的了解。
活動當天，我們也欣賞了2024年American Protege國際音樂比賽弦樂組二等獎得主，12歲的古箏演奏家Sophia Hu的精彩表演。她以古箏演奏《市集》和《茉莉芬芳》，清澈的琴聲婉轉悠揚，情感豐富，令現場來賓深受感動，掌聲不絕於耳。
此外，草月流花藝師高久玲女士以她精緻的插花作品為會場增添了濃厚的秋日氛圍，完美契合了白露的主題。
為了順應白露時節的養生需求，理事與義工們依據中醫師陳正容老師的建議，特別準備了應季養生晚餐。蓮藕、白木耳、南瓜、秋葵與鐵棍山藥等豐富食材，溫和滋養，讓與會來賓食後讚不絕口。
感謝各位來賓的熱情參與與支持，並感謝會後的來信鼓勵，期待在下一次SDCACS節氣藝術養生沙龍再見！

2024 White Dew Seasonal Art and Wellness Salon
On September 7th, the San Diego Chinese Art ＆ Cultural Society (SDCACS) held the White Dew Seasonal Art and Wellness Salon.
We were honored to invite the renowned painter, Professor Yu Chunming, to share his profound insights on the four seasons and art. He also detailed his creative journey, giving guests a deeper understanding of the stories behind his works.
During the event, we enjoyed a wonderful performance by 12-year-old guzheng player Sophia Hu, the second prize winner in the string category of the 2024 American Protege International Music Competition. She played “The Market” and “Jasmine Fragrance” on the guzheng, with clear and melodious tones that deeply moved the audience, earning continuous applause.
Additionally, Ikebana artist Ms. Joyce C. Kao enhanced the autumn atmosphere of the venue with her exquisite floral arrangements, perfectly aligning with the theme of White Dew.
To cater to the wellness needs of the White Dew season, the board members and volunteers prepared a seasonal wellness dinner based on the recommendations of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner Dr. Chen Zhengrong. The meal included nourishing ingredients such as lotus root, white fungus, pumpkin, okra, and iron stick yam, which were warmly received by the guests.
We thank all the guests for their enthusiastic participation and support, and for the encouraging letters received after the event. We look forward to seeing you at the next SDCACS Seasonal Art and Wellness Salon!
