Exhibition introduces paintings of the Zodiacal Rat

The exhibition introduces visitors to nearly 100 paintings featuring springtime and the rat – the zodiac animal of the year 2020.

The paintings were created by painters and children in the city using assorted materials and styles, featuring the proliferation of nature and the happiness of people when spring comes.

The Zodiacal Rat is the first in the repeating 12-year cycle of animals in Asian culture. It symbolises agility, intelligence, prosperity, happiness and luck.

According to the museum’s director Ha Thanh Van, the exhibition aims to create a fresh atmosphere for people as Tet (Lunar New Year) draws near, while also bringing the arts closer to the public.

The event is co-hosted by Da Nang City’s Fine Arts Association and the city’s Fine Arts Museum. It is open to the public for free at 78 Le Duan Street, Thach Thang Ward, Hai Chau District.

Vietnam discovers 2,000-year-old stringed instrument

Image
Discovered along the Mekong River in southern Vietnam, the 2,000-year-old instrument resembles a single-stringed harp and may have been an ancestor to the complex musical instruments people still plucked today in Vietnam, according to UK-based science website IFLScience . The artifact consists of a 35-centimeter piece of deer antler with a hole at one end for a peg, which was likely used to tune the string. The antler most likely came from a Sambar deer or an Indian hog deer, two species native to mainland Southeast Asia. While the string seems to have eroded away long ago, the instrument features a bridge that was perhaps used to support the string. Lead researcher and Ph.D. student Fredeliza Campos from the Australian National University said the artifact is at least 2,000 years old — dating back to Vietnam’s pre-Oc Eo culture along the Mekong River, which is exceptionally early for this kind of instrument. How the artifact could have been played. Image credit: F Z Campo...
