繁花 Blossoms

 


我寄了上有「南島語族分布之37國/地區原生植物組成的花束」和「郎世寧《仙萼長春》(國立故宮博物院藏)郵票」的致謝明信片給南島語族分布的36國/地區(除了臺灣)文化機構,祝其有美好的一天。

嗨。


Personalized thank you postcards sent to art/culture institutions of 36* countries with Austronesians. The front features a bouquet of 37 endemic** plants of these countries, and its stamp depicts Giuseppe Castiglione’s Immortal Blossoms in an Everlasting Spring (c. 1723-1735) from the National Palace Museum (Taipei, Taiwan) collection.

Hello.

*Taiwan, which is widely believed to be the place of origin of the Austronesian languages, not included.
**Or native plant if the country doesn’t have endemic one.
