Chong Yang is an occasion to remember one's ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent - what better to do so than by being together in the neighbourhood participating in an intergenerational workshop? This event is part of our Winter Solstice Festival series. 

重陽節是祭祖的日子，銘記他們做出的犧牲與歷經的困難——有什麼比在社區中參加一次跨世代的工作坊更好的方式來慶祝呢？本次活動是我們冬至節慶系列活動的一部分。

Persimmons are a traditional food eaten during Chong Yang, so in the spirit of the festival, Ariel of @mooncakeclay will be guiding you through a workshop on how to make persimmon shaped incense holders! 

柿子是重陽節吃的傳統食物，因此為慶祝節日，張若瑜@mooncakeclay將會帶領一個做柿子形的香插工作坊！

Chinatown Together will also be providing our usual light refreshments. This time we will be providing some chrysanthemum tea as chrysanthemums are heavily associated with Chong Yang due to their association with longevity and renewal, the number nine's significance, and traditional customs.

華埠團結也將會提供一些小食。我們也會提供一些菊花茶，因為菊花與重陽節密切相關，菊花有長壽與更新的寓意，而菊花也與數字九和傳統習俗有很大關係。

This workshop will be using air-dry clay which can take 24-72 hours to dry. Attendees are encouraged to bring a box/container to take their clay project home. Instructions will be provided on how folks can paint their incense holders once dried. 

本次工作坊將會使用風乾陶土來製作，陶土將會用時24-72小時來風乾。我們鼓勵參與者帶一個盒子來把他們的陶土作品帶回家。我們將會提供陶土風乾後如何為香插上色的指引。

They’re also very knowledgeable in stones and crystals and can give you tips on how to spot the correct stone/crystal for you! They accept cash and card.

In the face of ongoing gentrification, it's crucial for us to unite in support of our Chinatown and DTES communities, honor our elders and their cultural heritage, and revel in the collective joy of artistic expression.

Through each Chinatown Together event, we are dedicated to backing grassroots efforts, amplifying the genuine voices of our community, reclaiming our cultural roots and safe spaces, and standing firmly united against encroaching gentrification. Celebrating community joy is our most powerful resistance to these forces - let's come together and celebrate in Chinatown as one!

面對持續的市紳化，我們必須團結起來支持華埠和市中心東區的社群，尊重我們的長者及他們的文化遺產，並享受藝術表達帶來的集體歡愉。

通過一次次華埠團結的活動，我們致力於支持華埠草根行動，擴大我們社群的真實聲音，尋回我們文化根源以及安全空間，並堅定團結起來抵抗逐漸侵佔我們的市紳化。

慶祝社區愉悅是我們對這些力量最強有力的抵抗--讓我們齊聚華埠來共同慶祝！
