"Through this competition, the florists on both sides of the Strait can learn different ideas and skills from each other, which makes me gain a lot." Li Chaoyang, the champion of the "2022 Beijing Taiwan flower skills exchange competition for young workers" and the contestant of the Beijing division, told reporters that the Taipei division was unique in the table flower project. He was impressed by a work in black and white, and hoped to continue to learn from Taiwan flower artists in the future. "2022 flower skills exchange competition for young workers from Beijing and Taiwan" was recently held in Beijing. As one of the 25 series activities of the "2022 cross strait Youth Summit", the competition, with the theme of "flowers in bloom, flowers in bloom", was held synchronously in Beijing and Taipei for the first time in the way of "offline competition and online interconnection". 30 contestants from Beijing and Taiwan created unique and far-reaching flower art works with the titles of "beautiful colors to eat", "flowers in bloom" and "hymns of life". "Flower art is a creation that integrates superb skills and profound cultural connotation. It is a creation of beauty and lyrical labor." Hou Fangmei, Deputy Secretary General of the Beijing flower arrangement art research association, said that there was appreciation of flowers as early as the bookofsongs, and broken branch flowers had appeared at that time. When arranging flowers, we not only pay attention to the line color of flowers, but also its cultural connotation is very important. "The art of flower arrangement is not only a simple art, but also a bridge of communication. We can make everyone understand each other better through flower arrangement competitions and exhibitions." Caihongjun, former chairman of the Taipei Federation of trade unions and general director of the Taipei handicraft professional trade union, invited Beijing contestants to visit Taiwan after the end of the COVID-19 to discuss further exchanges and cooperation. "Due to the epidemic, our face-to-face exchanges have been suspended since 2019. Now, with the support of high-tech means, we can gather in the 'cloud' for skill exchange. This flower skills exchange competition not only enhances the friendship between players on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, but also promotes the improvement of flower skills between Beijing and Taiwan. We look forward to continuing the discussion in the future, and cooperate with each other through flower skills exchange activities on both sides of the Taiwan Straits to create a better future." "In the face of the impact of the epidemic, the profound friendship between trade unions in Beijing and Taiwan has stood the test." Zhang Liang, Secretary of the Party group of the Beijing Federation of trade unions, said that through joint efforts, the two sides have successfully carried out skill exchanges between Beijing Taiwan trade unions and workers through video connection for the first time. "I hope this event can continue to be carried out, and become a bridge and an important platform for the flower industry and employees on both sides of the Strait to observe and improve their skills. I also hope that the trade unions in Beijing and Taiwan can jointly explore and expand the competition projects in other industries, continue to exchange, display and carry forward the common cultural characteristics of both sides of the Strait, and continue to inherit the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation." "Chinese flower arrangement has a history of about 3000 years, and China is also one of the representative countries of Oriental flower arrangement. This time, the two sides of the Strait will use flowers to meet friends and convey love, and jointly inherit the cause of flower arrangement. I hope we can have today every year and today every year." Shi Wenfang, head of Beijing World Flower Grand View Garden, said. This competition is sponsored by the Beijing Federation of trade unions, and jointly organized by the Taipei handicraft trade union, the Taipei horticultural and flower industry trade union, the staff service center of the Beijing Federation of trade unions and the Beijing Workers' Technical Association.
