In the hope of attracting the public to watch the achievements of the collective creation of the people.
In order to complete the arrangement of the red envelope art creation exhibition in time for the Spring Festival, everyone almost used the temple as their home, and they worked tirelessly to make amazing works with skillful hands and wisdom. In addition, the layout along the road outside the exhibition hall should not be underestimated.
Some arrange lucky bags and auspicious incense, while others are busy arranging flowers and cleaning, cleaning and beautifying the inside and outside of Western temples, and tidying them up to a new look. From the gate of the monastery, red lanterns of joy were hung along the road. Volunteer Xu Hanzhong was not afraid of physical pain. He shared that looking at the smiles on the faces of passers-by, he could realize that the strong atmosphere of the New Year had also infected them.
It is worth mentioning that the Lego works elaborately produced by volunteer Eugene Chiang, which presents the art of Hsi Fang Temple and traditional architecture in Lego, are a highlight of the art exhibition during the Spring Festival of Hsi Fang Temple.
