After taking on an imperial robe and sitting on an imperial chair, Basil Bernstein asked his Chinese friend to take a picture of him at a temple fair. ”My wife said I am very handsome when wearing the imperial robe,” said Bernstein, a free-lance American photographer, at a Spring Festival temple fair in southwest China’s Chongqing.
The temple fairs, or “Miaohui” in Chinese, are usually held during China’s Spring Festival holidays to celebrate the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which fell on Feb. 18 this year.
Held at ancient temples, these colorfully decorated fairs usually feature folk arts performances, including stilt-walking and dragon and lion dances, and sale of snacks.
Two years ago, Bernstein attended a temple fair in Beijing and has since been deeply attracted by this centuries-old event.
”To me, everything at temple fairs is wonderful,” said Bernstein, who had visited three temple f

Merck recently announced that it will collaborate with Hong Kong-based Chi-Med, a pharmaceutical firm that focuses on researching, developing, manufacturing and selling pharmaceuticals, health supplements and other consumer health and personal care products derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine and botanical ingredients, to develop new cancer drugs.
Traditional Chinese MedicineChinese herbal medicines have been used for centuries. Merck's partnership with Chi-Med was likely made with the intention of identifying the active ingredients in those medicines.
Western pharmaceutical companies are increasingly outsourcing parts of drug discovery work due to the time and money - typically 7-10 years at a price of $800 million or more - required to find molecules to treat disease.
