Our first target is that we hope the
visitors could learn and understand
more about Lingnan tradition and culture. In the exhibition, we try to present
the two significant characteristics in Lingnan culture which are the Integration
of the West and China and the unique regional features of Lingnan area.
Besides, we would like to demonstrate the historical development and cultural
exchange between the China and the West by showing the exhibits from different
periods.
In addition, we hope that the visitors
would make reflection on the challenge
that facing by these traditional craftsmanship. Also we think the most
important thing is that, although they might not be able to try to change
the tough situation but they could appreciate them in our exhibition. By
demonstrating the changes in the skills and techniques of the exhibits, we
would like to guide the visitors to think about the challenge of preserving the
local craftsmanship which is difficult to preserve the most original and
traditional skills nowadays as new elements are added by the new craftsmen.
