A cultural exchange event showcasing traditional crafts and cultural products from Shandong Province, China, was held from September 15 to 17 at Jeonbuk National University and in Gunsan City.
Titled 'The Spirit of Craftsmanship in the Mountains and Seas: Cultural Resonance between Korea and China,' the event featured both on-site exhibitions and online promotions, presenting Shandong's traditional culture alongside modern reinterpretations.
The Chinese exhibition area at Jeonbuk National University's academic, cultural, and sports festival included displays of Yangzhou woodblock New Year paintings, Taishan plant dyeing, Zibo glass crafts, and Linyi Miao embroidery. Additionally, root carvings from Feixian and cultural products, as well as contemporary artist Pan Shichang's oil painting series 'Stories of Rocks,' were showcased.
The event attracted significant interest from students, faculty, and local residents. Attendees experienced Chinese tea culture at a Lu Zhao green tea tasting area, while a smart robot cart displaying exhibition items and informational materials caught the attention of visitors.
Following this, exhibitions continued at the Yantai City Image Exhibition Hall within the Gunsan China-Korea Industrial Complex. Local journalists and community representatives explored the crafts, learning about the folklore and significance behind the works.
This event provided a platform for direct engagement with Shandong's intangible cultural heritage on a South Korean university campus and in local exhibition spaces.
