Teochew International Convention · Welcome Dinner

Return for Reunion and Prosperity

The 23rd Teochew International Convention was successfully held in Chaozhou from November 28 to 30. It was a grand gathering for Teochew people worldwide, where nearly 1,800 Teochew compatriots from 165 Teochew associations across 34 countries and regions traveled a great distance to return to the embrace of their hometown.

This marked the first time in the 45-year history of the convention that it returned to Chaozhou, the ancestral homeland of Teochew people around the world. It built a platform for Teochew people globally to trace their ancestry and discuss common development.

The Porcelain Tells the Stories of Longing

Weiye Ceramics specially customized tableware for the welcome dinner. The original designed tableware, rich in Chaozhou cultural characteristics, was used to serve the delicacies, welcoming the distinguished guests in the most heartfelt way.

The entire set of tableware adopted the blue color of the convention’s logo as its main tone, with the Yulan magnolia—Chaozhou’s city flower—as the core pattern.

The elegant posture of Yulan magnolias in full bloom, with petals gracefully unfurling, was exquisitely depicted through the delicate stitch textures of Chaozhou embroidery, a national intangible cultural heritage. The display plates featured large interwoven embroidery thread patterns that mimicked the gentle ripples of the Hanjiang River, symbolizing the time-honored and profound heritage of Teochew culture. 

On the edges of the tableware, golden rims replicated the texture of the gold-thread embroidery technique of Chaozhou embroidery, exuding the refined elegance and dignity unique to Teochew style.
