пан. Се Шенвень, посол Південної Африки в Китаї, підняв великий палець на шарф-платформу Aurora

Коли південноафриканський посол зустрічає Аврору Шарф: Central African Cultural Resonance in Silk

Under the lights of a diplomatic exchange dinner hosted by ambassadors in China, South African Ambassador to China Xie Shengwen held the iconic orange Aurora scarf gift box and took a photo with the brand representative, adding another important partner from the African continent to the “Ambassador’s Like List” of this Chinese silk brand – this scarf, using silk thread as a pen, weaves a new bright color on the picture of China Africa cooperation.

1、 South African Ambassador’s’ Silk Scarf Preference ‘: The Connection from Economy and Trade to Culture

Ambassador Xie Shengwen’s platform for Aurora scarves this time is a vivid footnote to the “diverse cooperation” between South Africa and China. As partners of BRICS countries, China and South Africa have had close exchanges in the fields of mining, agriculture, and manufacturing in recent years. Platinum and citrus from South Africa have entered the Chinese market through the “China Africa Economic and Trade Expo,” while Chinese silk and home appliances have become “new choices” for South African consumers.

Aurora scarves can impress Xie Shengwen not only in terms of craftsmanship – this fabric combines traditional Chinese patterns with modern design, allowing the South African ambassador to see the possibility of “cultural commonality”: Zulu fabrics in South Africa are known for their geometric patterns, and Aurora scarves’ 28 color overprinting technology perfectly combines African color aesthetics with Eastern delicate textures. As Xie Shengwen mentioned in the exchange, “China’s silk, like South Africa’s gold, is our ‘language’ that can make the world understand

2、 The “African Story” в подарунковій коробці Orange

У Аврори “Ambassador Cooperation Archive”, the presence of African countries is increasing: from the Egyptian ambassador’s collection of “pyramid patterned scarves” to the Kenyan ambassador’s endorsement of “East African animal themed designs”, this orange gift box has long become a “silk version of African cultural exhibitions”.

The scarves received by Xie Shengwen this time are the “new series” customized by Aurora for the African market – inspired by the South African national flower “Emperor Flower”, using Taiwanese printing technology to restore the layers of petals. The colors on both sides are almost identical, and the precision of hand rolled edges is comparable to luxury goods. This is not just a piece of jewelry, but also an attempt to weave African aesthetics into Chinese silk: в майбутньому, these scarves that integrate African elements may appear in tourist shops in South Africa and become “cultural souvenirs” exchanged between Central and Southern tourists.

3、 The ‘New Link between China and Africa’ woven with silk thread

The journey of this scarf from the workshop in Hangzhou to the embassy in South Africa is a microcosm of the “soft connectivity” of China Africa cooperation. Ambassador Xie Shengwen once stated that “China South cooperation requires more ‘visible and tangible’ cultural symbols,” and the Aurora scarf is such a symbol: він легкий, як пір'їнка, yet it can carry the aesthetics, craftsmanship, and sincerity of both countries.

Можливо скоро, at Fashion Week in South Africa, there will be dresses made of Chinese silk and African fabrics spliced together; In the Silk Museum in China, в “Imperial Flower Silk Scarf” praised by the South African ambassador will become one of the exhibits in the “China Africa Cultural Exchange Exhibition” – when the silk thread crosses the Indian Ocean, the resonance of civilization takes on a warmer form.
