Master Yun Long Zi’s 2023 October Great Wall Fengshui Calligraphy Exhibition Welcome Banquet Address at Imperial Cuisine Museum

You have arrived from thousands of miles away, from different parts of the world, to attend my feng shui calligraphy exhibition. My heart is moved with gratitude. And I shall cherish this moment of great souvenirs with you, for a long long time. 

I shall say Beijing welcomes you.  

I would also like to, on behalf of my friends from 13 different countries, to express our deepest gratitude to the Chinese people, especially the Chinese leaders. 

We love Beijing very much. We love China very much. 

Tonight is a welcome imperial banquet, as well as a calligraphy exhibition. In this Imperial Cuisine Museum, I have exhibited 21 pieces of feng shui calligraphy. 

All these 21 calligraphy exhibited pieces has a common trait. Every piece has a word “family”. 

The way we Chinese coin our words is very interesting. With people who have blood relation with us, we call them “own-family”. With people without blood relation, we call them the “big-family”. 

4000 over years ago, there was a great hero born in China. His name was “Da Yu”. His greatest merit was to manage the “Yellow River”.

We people from the Southeast Asia know there is a “Mekong River”. The Mekong River came from China. But inside China, this river is called “Lan Cang”, and when the river flows out of China, it is called “Mekong”.

The Mekong River passes through the province of Qing Hai, and the province of Yunnan in China, and flows out to Myamar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, six countries altogether before it arrives the sea.

Mekong River is but 4350 miles while the Yellow River is 5465 miles, much longer than the Mekong. We can imagine, to manage the Yellow River, it would involve much more people and races than Mekong. This is an extraordinary task. That’s why “Da Yu” was a great hero.

To treat the Yellow River requires not only capability but also virtue. The history recorded the incident that Da Yu passed by his own house for three times but never entered. What does it mean? It means he never sacrifice the “big-family” for the benefit of his “own-family”. And when necessary, he would sacrifice the benefit of his “own-family” for the “big-family”.

From four thousand years ago, this virtue of “treating the world as one’s huge family” has been implanted into the cultural DNA of the Chinese descendants”.

This evening, at Beijing, we call here the feet of the emperor. We bring you the imperial cuisine. We ask of you to wear the palace costume. And we invite you to take photos with my feng shui calligraphy. And most importantly, to wish you bring to your families, the force of the emperors, the blessings of prosperity, good health and universal love.
