Shenzhen Nantou Mapping Show
INTRO
2023.The International Dialogue Conference on the Protection and Development of Nantou Ancient City has invited experts from the Veneto Region of Italy. In this event, they will discuss the protection and development of cultural heritage from Eastern and Western perspectives.
Nantou Ancient City, one of Shenzhen's "Top Ten Characteristic Cultural Districts," has a history of almost 1700 years. It is a crucial point for exploring Shenzhen's cultural roots and for pioneering innovative urban habitat reconstruction. In the mapping show, we've created a 3-minute and 40-second segment focusing on the city's history and the cultural exchange between East and West. This segment is divided into five parts: "Starry Seas - Fusion of Architecture - Calligraphy and Sculpture - Intertwining Melodies - Radiance of Sun and Moon." Each part explores Chinese and Italian architecture, calligraphy, and music from three different angles.

“城楼为灰塑龙船脊，作有鳌鱼及花草装饰，正中部位为莲座葫芦，以保南头地区平安长久之寓意，垂脊作有两狮子，歇山屋面山面作有悬鱼，为官清廉之寓意；屋顶翼角作有翘起，“如鸟斯革，如翚斯飞，”飘逸秀丽，城楼木构架之驼峰多作有雕刻。”
"The city tower is sculpted with a gray dragon boat ridge, adorned with sea turtles, fish, and floral decorations. In the central part, there is a lotus pedestal gourd, symbolizing the enduring peace and prosperity of the Nantou area. The ridge is adorned with two lions, and the gable roof features hanging fish, symbolizing the integrity of officials. The eaves of the roof are curled up like birds ready to soar, elegant and beautiful. Many of the camel humps of the city tower's wooden structure are intricately carved.”
