Wuxia Wonders: Martial Arts on Screen

Complementing the exhibition Emperors’ Treasures: Chinese Art from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, this film series brings to the big screen sparkling digital restorations of two classics of the wuxia (martial arts) genre by legendary filmmaker King Hu, as well as Ang Lee’s extraordinary Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Visit the Museum's Hirsch Library and peruse their selection of books on the genre, including Stephen Teo's Chinese Martial Arts Cinema: The Wuxia Tradition.
