KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 (Bernama) -- “Jadeite Cabbage” -- a vivid depiction of bok choy with green foliage and white stalks carved from a green-and-white jade -- is one of the major highlights at Taichung World Flora Expo in Taiwan from Nov 3, 2018 to April 24, 2019.
The Southeast Asian Garden Art is one of the two pieces of jade art from the National Palace Museum’s (NPM) collection. It is featured by the NPM New Media Gallery in the expo’s Houli Horse Ranch venue, a statement said.
The “Jadeite Cabbage” is a cultural relic that symbolizes agriculture. It echoes the flora expo as well as connotes the agricultural industry in central and southern Taiwan. It also reminds viewers of land and the origin of agriculture.
Taichung City Mayor, Lin Chia-lung said that the city government has worked closely with public and private sectors across Taiwan to elevate contents of the expo, hoping to deliver this year’s theme of “green productivity,” “nature sustainability,” and “people with greenability” to the world with the highest standard.
Also at the Taichung World Flora Expo, an interactive exhibition will also be held to transform horse and flower-themed cultural relics from Northern Song and Qing dynasties into images through utilizing digital projection and interactive device at Houli Horse Ranch.
Also stated in the statement from Sanlih E-Television Co Ltd, floral designs by countries including Malaysia, Myanmar and Hong Kong will be installed at the World Gardens of the Forest Expo Site.
Malaysia will present a rainforest-themed exhibition that features its national flower -- Hibiscus rosa-sinensis while Hong Kong will embark on a journey of Maritime Silk Road that features characteristic, splendor sculptures and beautiful flowers.
