John Walker & Sons XR21 Legacy Collection (Cantonese)

Description

Cantonese Pack 

The final of the trio, The Legacy Collection Cantonese is influenced by the traditions and practices of the Cantonese in Malaysia, such as their history of being one of the earliest groups of Chinese to operate business trades overseas and their wide use of the abacus and traditional chinese steelyardin business. Other prominent illustrations on the bottle and packaging are the famous Guang Dong Lion Dance, a traditional folk art combing dance, music, and martial arts often performed at festivals; Dim Sum and tea, showcasing the favourite pastime of ‘yum cha’; and the Carp, which implies “a leap to a dragon gate, worth a hundredfold” — the expectation of the diligent business ofGuang Dong businessmen. 

广东主题瓶 

传承系列第三款，着墨于马来西亚广东人的历史事迹和传统文化。身为最早跨海南下经商的华族之一，广东人在经营买卖时大量运用算盘和杆秤。在民间传统艺术方面，广东人最知名的是将舞蹈、音乐和武术合为一体、在节庆时常见的舞狮表演。点心和品茶也是广东文化的一大特色，而深受广东人喜爱的鲤鱼则寓意“一登龙门，身价百倍”，再次印证了广东商人对生意业务的重视和期许。
