Who are we?
The Toronto Guqin Society was founded in 2005 under the name University of Toronto Guqin Association (UTQA) to spread awareness of guqin music in the UofT and surrounding communities, as well provide a gateway for communication between players and fans of the music. In autumn 2007, in response to the rise of the Hanfu movement in Toronto, the UTQA was restructured into UTCCAS to attune to the promotion of authentic Chinese culture, or the Han tradition. Today, the group has come out to the community under the name Toronto Guqin Association (TorGuqin), and retains its original mission since 2005 of connecting guqin lovers in Toronto and worldwide.
關於本社﹕
多倫多古琴社的前身的多倫多大學古琴社(UTQA)﹐於2005年成立。我們原來的目標是在多倫多大學推廣此被譽為“君子四藝之首”古琴的音樂與文化﹐以及提供給多倫多古琴界一個交流的平臺﹐並且與世界各地的琴社的研究與消息聯繫。於2007年秋季﹐為了回應全球華人逐漸興起的漢民族傳統服飾復興運動 (漢服運動)﹐多大古琴社曾重組成為多倫多大學中華藝術社(UTCCAS)以推廣一個全面性的華夏文化印象。如今﹐本組已突破校園的範圍﹐向多倫多廣大多元化的社會﹐以至全球民眾推廣我們悠長的琴雅樂文化﹐並與漢服﹐茶藝等找尋熱愛﹐景仰華夏文化的知音。
