NCKU to host exhibition on Mongolian and Tibetan culture
Tainan, Taiwan, November 8, 2013
The National Cheng Kung University Library is to host the “Trails through thousands of years - Exhibition on Mongolian and Tibetan Culture”, where real artifacts will be displayed.
On the opening day, November 12, there will be yurt (Mongolian bag) and Tibetan tent paper sculptures DIY sessions, traditional Mongolian and Tibetan clothing available to try on, as well as free suutei tsai (Mongolian milk tea) and tsampa (Tibetan staple food) on offer to taste, in order to allow the public a full experience of Mongolian and Tibetan culture.
The exhibition, organized by NCKU and the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission will take place at the NCKU Library from Nov.12 to Dec.1, and the opening ceremony will be held at the plaza in front of the NCKU Library at 13:30 on November 12.
The ceremony will be officiated by Dr. Hong-Sen Yan, the Vice President of NCKU, and Mr. Hong-ze Zhang, the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission counselor and Cultural Center Director.
On the day of the event, Fei-Yang Folk Dance Company has also been invited to perform Mongolian and Tibetan dance works.
The Mongols are renowned for their ethnic music and poetic culture, whilst the Tibetans are famous for their love of dance and music, which plays an integral part of their culture.
This exhibition is Taiwan’s first heritage exhibition tour that is based on Mongolian and Tibetan musical theater, and will include artifacts such as costumes, masks, and other daily accessories.
The exhibition has already been on display in Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichun, Changhua and Miaoli, where it received much applause.
The NCKU Library will be the exhibition’s last and, coincidentally, only display in southern Taiwan.
Its contents will include not only Mongolian and Tibetan musical theater, but also artifacts relating to religion, life, and entertainment; the musical instruments, masks, Thangka and photographic works.
The traditional morin khuur of Mongolia and the Chin (a type of trombone) that is often used in combination of Tibetan music and religion, as well as the array of theatrical masks are all great highlights.
This exhibition will include various forms of presentation, including storytelling - to more vividly present the diverse facets of the Mongolian and Tibetan customs – as well as dining experiences and DIY activities.
The Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission belonging to the Mongolian and Tibetan cultural center is Taiwan’s only public education organization that specializes in the preservation and promotion of Mongolian and Tibetan culture.
Since 1961, the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission have arranged for exhibitions on cultural artifacts at various schools, museums, educational centers and other sites, in the hope of introducing the public to the diverse Mongolian and Tibetan culture.
