在香文化发展过程中，人们在追求衣物和雅饰芬芳的同时，也逐渐关注饮食茶点的清新淡雅。饮食的五味调和，也是让古人如痴如醉的香文化。民以食为天，食以「香」味美。
除了焚香，闻香，观烟......香文化还有很多让人沉醉的地方。10月22日晚7:00 - 9:00的香文化工作坊，主香人将带领你通过「视，听，嗅，味，触」五感，进一步体会香文化的奥妙。
最特别的是，能亲口尝到主香人自制的香饮子和香食。
拓燃法；观主香人在香席上的行香仪轨和器具的使用方法。精美的香具让我们爱不释手，但不可亵玩。在行香的过程中要贯穿敬畏心和感恩心。
天泽扣芳。香品以沉香为主，白豆蔻／乳香等香料和合而成，三月窖藏。香的味、意、韵让我们调息／开窍，使我们的身心得倒放松和愉快。根据季节的五行之言，用香也是有讲究的。秋天，在西方，向下运动。色白属金，在肺。乳香，白豆蔻达肺金之气，调气固肺。
战国、汉代、南北朝香炉演变 。听主香人阐述和鉴识香具，用最直接的方式了解从战国到南北朝时期有关香文化的历史演变。
素秋饮子、香食。为了养生保健，古人会把所需的香药香料加入食品制作的过程中，这便是我们香食文化的开始。比如梅花汤，苍耳饭等芳香食物。 当香料变为香食，在保养身体方面亦可达到同样的功效。主香人会带来什么样的香食呢？
触碰香材。将不同的香材装入瓶中，主香人将讲述香品「天择扣芳」中香材背后的故事。
主香人会为每个人制作一个贴心的小册子，打印有香具图片，香食的功效以及制作方法，方便大家做笔记。

7s Art Workshop is online!
We will host an Ikebana Workshop on August 6 at Artosino in Manhattan (265 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018).
You will learn Ikenobo ikebana, the oldest and largest school of Ikebana, accompanied with Guqin music and Chinese tea on this romantic afternoon!
More than putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Contrary to the idea of floral arrangement as a collection of particolored or multicolored arrangement of blooms, ikebana often emphasizes oter areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and draws emphasis toward shape, line, and form.
Ms Paula Tam has rich experience in teaching Ikenobo ikebana for over 20 years. She was entitled "Junkatoku" – Professor of Ikebana, the first of the four highest Ikenobodiplomas from Ikenobo Floral Art in 2014.
Her arrangements have been exhibited in numerous institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New Museum, Tenri Gallery, Japanese Stroll Garden etc. She was invited to give ikebana demonstrations at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and for Ikebana International New York Chapter.
Besides teaching, she is serving as advisor of Ikebana International New York Chapter and Ikebana Coordinator of Japanese Gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She also served as president of Ikebana International New York Chapter from June 2013 to May 2015 and as treasurer from 2009 to 2013. She was also a Board Member of Ikenobo Ikebana Society NYC Chapter from 2006 to 2013.
All participants will be grouped in two and try out Ikebana under the guidance of Ms. Paula Tam. You can take your work back at home after the workshop!
It is the Seventh Evening of the Seventh Month Festival according to the Chinese lunar calendar, which is traditionally celebrated as a festival, mostly kown as ‘The Begging Festival’ or ‘The Daughter's Festival’, on which girls pray to the Weaving-Maid for her blessing on their needlework. A romantic love story about Cowherd and Weaving-Maid is also related to this festival and their story will be retold during our event.
