Colored glaze helps to shine light in France on Chinese fortress

PARIS/TAIYUAN — In Houetteville Castle in Normandy, France, colored glaze products from China have been on display for more than half a month, and many people have come here to see these exquisite artworks from the East.

The company overseeing the Shanxi Zhangbi Ancient Fortress was invited to participate in the Salon International du Patrimoine Culturel at the Louvre Museum in Paris from Nov 2-5. In just a few days, this ancient fortress with a history of more than 1,600 years attracted thousands of people, and its colored glaze cultural products were popular at the expo.

"To let more people know about these exquisite artworks, I advised Lu Yang, the head of Zhangbi Ancient Fortress scenic spot, to display them at our castle in Normandy after the expo, and then tour Europe," says Nathalie Geslin-Yu, president of the Club Des Chatelains Chinois de France (Chinese owners of French chateaux club), a French castle organization. "The brilliant colors and oriental shapes of the cultural products attract people. I bought a collection myself."
