John Walker XR21 Legacy Collection (Hokien)

Description

Hokkien Pack 

The design of the second in the collection — The Legacy Collection Hokkien, is derived from the Hokkien clan’s survival from persecution back in the Ming Dynasty by seeking refuge in a sugar cane plantation, which then became a form of offering to the Jade Emperor known as ‘Tian Gong’, as a token of gratitude and worship. The design also draws inspiration from Hokkien Opera — a popular traditional performance practised in Malaysia that is well-loved by the older generation, as well as one of the most distinctive Chinese clan houses in Malaysia, Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi with elaborate and highly ornamented architecture — a distinctive symbol of the Malaysian Chinese presence in Penang. 

福建主题瓶 

传承系列第二款，以福建人“拜天公”的传统为创作灵感。相传在明朝时期，福建人为了逃避兵祸，大批人躲藏在甘蔗林，逃过鬼门关，因而认为是天保佑他们逃过灾难，于是每年大年初九便会祭拜天公，答谢救命之恩。这款福建主题瓶，也从深受上一代喜爱的闽剧元素中汲取灵感之外，同时刻画了槟城龙山堂邱公司。邱公司不仅是马来西亚最具历史价值的祠堂古建筑之一，更是马来西亚华人史上最为重要的历史足迹。
