Culture China to Host Dragon Culture Exhibition

South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region will host an exhibition from February 1 to 28 in the regional capital of Nanning on the history and culture of the dragon, a symbol of Chinese civilization.

The exhibition will feature the 7,000-year evolution of the dragon image, crafts, painting, finery and architecture centered on the dragon, and dragon-related sports and cultural activities such as the dragon boat and dragon dance.

Nearly 300 exhibits and photos will be on display during the one-month event, the first of its kind in China.

At the same time, the autonomous regional cultural department will hold a dragon lantern fair and a cultural activity during which one million people will jointly paint a gigantic dragon.

The exhibition will move to other cities in China beginning in March.
