As a representative of one of the leading firms in China specializing in visibility of Chinese culture on the world stage, China Today International chief strategist Peng Binge was invited, in concert with the United States Congressional Caucus, to the New York headquarters of the United Nations, where he attended seminars on the international cultural exchanges. He presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon a collection of Chinese zodiac stamps made of gold and silver from China Today International's facilities.
The collection is a set of stamps finely cast from the two precious metals and issued to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the release of China's first zodiac stamp. No such stamp in commemoration of the Chinese Zodiac made of precious metals has been issued before. The limited edition commemorative stamps have been approved by China Post. The master stamp engraver of the 1980 Year of the Monkey stamp, Jiang Weijie, as well as 12 master engravers specializing in zodiac stamps worked together to create the unique commemorative collection, whereby each stamp personifies the style of each engraver and showcases the cultural appeal and charisma of Chinese culture.
Mr. Peng explained, in China's quest for consensus around the world and for expanding cooperation, Chinese culture is a critical part of the appeal of the country and the interest in the country expressed by the fans of the culture and of the significance of that culture. The country's sophisticated culture serves as a bridge across the world so audiences can learn about, understand and fall in love with China. Efforts continue in different regions around the world and through a multitude of channels to expand the understanding and appreciation for Chinese culture. The era of globalization opens up many new possibilities for promoting and spreading knowledge about Chinese culture around the world and to be more open to learning about Chinese culture and traditions. The changing times present an immense opportunity for Chinese cultural firms who seek to "spread the word."
Mr. Peng added that, China is gaining more attention and supporters who express sincere appreciation of Chinese culture, termed as China Fever as well as Collection Fever - have never been more fervent, especially "Chinese collections that can tell stories." Such collections not only provide richer and more appealing cultural connections to collectors worldwide, but also showcase a certain profile of China's development, which is another method of drawing the interest of people who wish to be more intimately involved with China.
