As a way to communicate traditional Fujian culture, the show is open to the public for free, with the more than 100 artifacts on show provided courtesy of a number of independent collectors and institutions from Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Taiwan.
The sound of children chanting of an old nursery rhyme greeted the visitors at the opening ceremony, creating an instant sense of nostalgia. Looking at the extensive collection, including brown-colored fishermen's clothes, ladles made of shells, and blue-and-white porcelain that portrays the lives of fishermen on boats, also reminds visitors of all the time that has passed by.
The organizer is local clothing brand Qing's. It plans to offer lectures on Fujian culture and dialects, and nanyin (the oldest music genre in China) performances alongside the exhibition.
