PARIS, July 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "Glories of Hebei: Photo Exhibition of Acrobatic
Culture" opened at the Les amis de Nouvelles d'Europe in Paris on July 23,
2024, creating a unique connection between traditional
Chinese sports with the modern Olympics.
This exhibition, celebrating the China-France Year of
Culture and Tourism, features bilingual (Chinese and French)
displays and combines text and images to present
the exquisite acrobatic artifacts of Hebei.
It is divided into two sections: "Marvelous Past" and
"Continuing Legacy". The first section exhibits photos
of ancient acrobatic techniques, including a mural painting
portrayed inside a Han dynasty tomb in Dongping, and a
pair of Han dynasty pottery figurines in handstands. The
"Continuing Legacy" section highlights the preservation and
innovation of acrobatic arts through Wuqiao acrobatics
posters, stage photos, and images of performances at Wuqiao
Acrobatics World, a national 4A-level tourist attraction.
The exhibition, organized by the Hebei Museum and supported by
Art Exhibitions China, is also in celebration of the 60th
anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France.
Hebei Province, located in
northern China, is renowned for its acrobatics,
especially that of Wuqiao County, one of Chinese
acrobatic arts' birthplaces. Located along the world heritage site
Grand Canal, Wuqiao in southeastern Hebei, or the "Home of Acrobats", boasts
acrobatic arts, a gem of Eastern art.
The Hebei Museum and Art Exhibitions China remain committed to
upholding Chinese cultural heritage, fostering cultural confidence,
maintaining tradition while innovating, and embracing openness and
inclusiveness. By sharing China's
stories and voices, they contribute to the preservation and
promotion of traditional Chinese culture and facilitate exchanges
between civilizations.
By connecting Chinese acrobatics with modern Olympics, the
exhibition showcases how civilizations inspire and illuminate
each other, so that even across vast distances, cultural
exchange can bring people closer.
The exhibition will continue until August 6, 2024.
