On Feb 10, 2018, “Chinese New Year” Flower Fair co-organized by the China Cultural Center and WTV kicked off at the Vodafone Event Centre in Auckland, New Zealand.

As the most popular annual Chinese Lunar New Year celebration in Auckland, this year’s event featured six Chinese intangible cultural heritages including Bohai Mohe silk embroidery and Peking Opera mask painting selected by the cultural departments of Shandong province and Heilongjiang province.

A vivid embroidery portrait of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern presented by Sun Yanling, the fourth-generation inheritor of Bohai Mohe silk embroidery from Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province, captivated the fair visitors. This embroidery gift, which took the artist a whole month to complete, conveyed her wish that the friendship between the people of the two countries would last forever.

Sun said the Bohai Mohe silk embroidery has a unique triangular stitch style. This ancient Manchu folk art uses the needle as the brush and creates embroideries as vivid as oil paintings.
