Recent Events
  • Wash., D.C. Folklife Festival
    The Smithsonian Folklife Festival
    is the nation's largest annual event,
    attended by a million people on the
    National Mall in D.C. each summer.
    In July 2010, Dr. Woo—calligrapher,
    painter, and feng shui master—told the
    tale of Cao Cao's defeat at the Yangtze
    River from Chinese epic work,
    The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
    A fortunate East Wind saved the southern
    armies of Sun Quan and Liu Bei from
    impending invasion. Citing the Chinese
    proverb, "all that is needed is an east
    wind,"
    Dr. Woo gifted to the Smithsonian
    a scroll commemorating the historic Asian
    Pacific Americans Folklife program.
    The scroll contains the trigram for
    "wind," (from The Classic of Changes),
    symbolizing the wish for the East Wind
    of fortune to bless the Smithsonian
    in its future projects. For more info,
