Local fans of Chinese culture participated in the lecture, along with a number of foreign officials in Argentina, including Yang Chuanying, cultural counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Argentina; Teresa Anchorena, chairwoman of the Argentine National Heritage Protection Committee; local cultural department officials, and the Italian Ambassador to Argentina.

The event was held by the Bureau of Communication and Cooperation of Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and organized by the China Arts and Entertainment Group. It belongs to the Chinese Culture Talk event, a series of lectures on Chinese philosophy, religion, literature, cuisine, medicine and other traditional culture-related subjects.

This is the first time that the Chinese Culture Talk was held in Argentina. It enabled local people to understand the traditional Chinese dance art and the zodiac culture.
