Latest at the Chinese Garden—Liu Fang Yuan 流芳園, or the Garden of Flowing Fragrance—which is one of the largest and finest classical-style gardens outside of China, at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, is the "Tang Qingnian: An Offering to Roots" 唐慶年：根之祭.
“Tang felt compelled to respond to California’s wildfires, taking brush in hand to sketch roots and wood torn from the earth,” said Bloom. “In creating An Offering to Roots, he also drew inspiration from historical Chinese poetry that likens the fate of trees to the fate of humans—a message with particular resonance as society confronts the effects of climate change.”
