This talk introduces “Grotto Art of China: A Sourcebook” and its authors. This is the first systematic survey of Chinese Buddhist cave temples in English, and a recent publication following immense and painstaking international effort and research. Prof. Wu Hung from the University of Chicago proposed the sourcebook, after observing the need for such a volume as a foundational reference for students and an interested public. A group of international scholars who have made significant contributions to the research and publishing on Chinese Buddhist caves were invited to co-author the volume, which will be presented and discussed this evening at Paragon Book Gallery in UCCA.

China is home to an extraordinary diversity of reptiles, including a remarkable range of venomous snakes that inhabit landscapes stretching from tropical forests and karst mountains to temperate woodlands and river valleys.

Professor of Zoology Kevin Messenger will explore the diversity, ecology, and behaviour of China’s venomous snake species, from the famous pit vipers of the southern mountains to lesser known but equally remarkable species found in remote forests and highland habitats. He will share insights from field surveys conducted in some of China’s most biodiverse regions where rare and endemic snakes continue to challenge researchers and inspire new discoveries.

The talk will also examine how scientific knowledge of China’s snakes has evolved since the pioneering work of early twentieth-century naturalists, and how modern research methods–including field surveys, distribution modelling, and conservation monitoring are helping scientists better understand species distributions and conservation needs.

Along the way, Professor Messenger will present striking photographs and personal field stories, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of these often misunderstood animals. Beyond their reputation for danger, venomous snakes play critical ecological roles and represent an important component of Asia’s biodiversity.

As society continues to develop, the profession of psychotherapy has also received increasing attention in recent years. If you are planning to enter this field, you may be looking for more learning, practice, and employment opportunities. You may also be looking for insight into the career and life of a practicing psychotherapist. This insightful -minute Q&A based webinar will explore these topics and provide you with valuable knowledge regarding different graduate programs, as well as advantages and disadvantages of pursuing this path. You will come away with a clearer understanding of whether a degree in the field of psychology aligns with your strengths, personality, and desired lifestyle.

This webinar will be organized by Ms. Qin Xiaojie, the director of CandleX and a registered counselor/psychotherapist in China and Australia.
