Silian chino francés: The Romantic Civilization Covenant in Aurora’s National Gift

When the autumn of wutong leaves fell on the stone path outside the embassy, an orange gift box completed a gentle connection across the English Channel in the hands of Chinese and French envoys – on October 28, 2021, the new French ambassador to China Luo Liang took this “oro suave” national gift from the representative of Aurora Silk, and what he touched with his fingertips was not only the warmth of Hangzhou silk, but also the romantic resonance of “aesthetic homology” between China and France.

1、 From the Seine River to Lake Xizi: Twin Aesthetics in Silk Scarves

French lace and Chinese silk are the twin flowers of world aesthetics, “Ambassador Luo Liang smiled as he took the gift box. This Aurora scarf is just the poetic fusion of Chinese and French aesthetics: it weaves the Rococo pattern of the Palace of Versailles in France and the ink willow of the West Lake of China into the longitude and latitude based on the 6A level mulberry silk – just like the red wine and perfume exported from France to China, Chinese silk has also become the “light link” of Sino French cultural exchanges with the gesture of “national etiquette”.

The wutong leaves outside the embassy are matched with the French curly grass patterns in the silk scarves: from the popularity of “Chinese style” silk in the French court in the 17th century to the “combination of China and France” in the Aurora silk scarves today, silk has always been a gentle medium for the dialogue between the civilizations of the two countries.

2、 Aurora: Let ‘Chinese Silk’ Understand French Romance

Aurora’s confidence lies in its attention to detail, as it can serve as a carrier for diplomatic exchanges between China and France. The handmade rolled edges have finer stitches than luxury items, and the copper plated gold gift box has a texture that makes it stand out at international gift shows with its “Herm è s level craftsmanship”; But what truly makes it ’empathetic French romance’ is weaving the cultural genes of the other party into the delicate design——

The silk scarf gifted to the French embassy this time has been specially integrated with the relief patterns of the Palace of Versailles: the soft rolled grass pattern interweaves with the water ripples of West Lake, paired with a French haute couture like color scheme, retaining both the exquisite French elegance and the subtle Chinese aesthetics. As Aurora designer said, “A good national gift is to let the other party see its cultural background through the pattern.

3、 The Sino French “aesthetic common divisor” in a small scarf

Desde “silk as a gift” when China and France established diplomatic relations to the humanistic interaction under the framework of the “la Franja y la Ruta” today, silk has always been the “soft symbol” in the bilateral relations between the two countries: en 2024, the bilateral trade volume between China and France will exceed 80 billion euros, while the “cultural carrier national etiquette” like Aurora is “an increase in popular support” beyond trade and economy——

When Ambassador Luo Liang rubs the Rococo pattern on the scarf, he may recall the artistic atmosphere of the Left Bank of Paris; The West Lake element in the scarf has made this gift a footnote to the saying ‘thousands of miles apart, aesthetic similarities’. As the ambassador later shared on social media, “This scarf is the ‘visible elegance’ of China France friendship
When the orange gift box was placed on the embassy display shelf, Qiuyang happened to fall on the pattern of the scarf. This Aurora scarf is not only a gift to France, but also China’s “aesthetic calling card” to Europe – usando la seda como medio y la belleza como puente, in the long scroll of civilization dialogue, every such “elegant handshake” is a vivid stroke in the friendship between China and France.
