Intro
The TRIPLE PARADE, established in 2013, a prestigious annual international cultural project (nonprofit), has become one of the leading contemporary applied art and design exhibition, where cultural exchanges are expanded between China and the rest of the world on a multitude of levels. Internationalization can be a great power that liberates individuals from limitations of their local culture, but there is no doubt a homogenizing tendency that involves a leveling of cultural diversity also operates. It all depends on how we look at it, as there is nothing which should stop the culture exchange force transforming the world into a new wonderland beyond our imagination.

Central to the concept of Triple Parade is to set up a diverse dialogue between three parties. This idea is inspired by the philosophy of Confucius (551 BC–479 BC), China’s most famous educator, philosopher, and political theorist, whose ideas have influenced the civilization of East Asia: Even when walking in a party of just three, I can always be certain of learning from those I am with. There will be good qualities that I can select for imitation and bad ones that will teach me what requires correction in myself.

Beyond THREE, is the first number to which the meaning “all” was given. It is the Triad; the power of three is universal and is the tripartite nature of the world as heaven, earth, and water. It is human as body, soul, and spirit. Three is birth, life, and death. It is the beginning, middle, and end. Three is a complete cycle in itself. It is past, present, and future. Here, three is a way of making a dialogue and sharing diversity and perspective on the topic of jewelry through cultural exchange.

4. Collaboration & Globalization
There is no doubt, the 21st century is collaborative. This can all happen in a singularly analogous manner, where creative people of all kinds gather to join up and work together. Collaboration means to come together, to bridge the difference, to exploit the differences as mechanisms for invention, mechanisms for going beyond one's own dead certainties. To collaborate is to give something up in exchange for receiving something back for developing, I think this is essential. And, these days, globalization needs to mean much more than just systematic consideration of resources in limited sections of the world. Instead, a way of participation, a way of bringing new ideas to the world, to enable to build some new, to enable to discover the others. The world is increasingly interconnected, the successful are those who have mastered many tools in hand, able to stand by its own seat while reacting flexibly.
