第九届“博博会”9月在郑举办

Approved by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, the 9th Chinese Exposition of Museums and Relevant Products and Technologies (MPT-EXPO), co-hosted by the Chinese Museum Association, the Chinese Association of Natural Science Museums and the People's Government of Zhengzhou, will be held at Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center from September 1 to 4 with the theme of "Museums in the New Era: Innovation, Development and Inheritance", said a source from the Information Office of the People's Government of Zhengzhou.

8月23日，记者从郑州市政府新闻办召开的新闻发布会上获悉，经国家文物局批准，由中国博物馆协会、中国自然科学博物馆学会、郑州市人民政府共同主办的第九届“中国博物馆及相关产品与技术博览会”将于9月1日至4日在郑州国际会展中心举办。本届“博博会”的主题为“新时代的博物馆：创新·发展·传承”。

MPT-EXPO, first held in 2004, has become one of the world's three major expositions of the museum sector as well as the largest one focusing on museums in Asia.

“博博会”创办于2004年，已成为全球三大博物馆行业展会之一，同时也是目前亚洲最大的博物馆专业展会。

Ding Ding

The mascot Ding Ding is designed from the Rectangular Ding with Animal Mask Motif (Ding, an ancient cooking vessel with two loop handles and three or four legs, usually served as a symbol of dynasty) of the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC-1046 BC) unearthed from Zhengzhou. The mascot is mainly colored with bronze rust, representing Zhengzhou's profound history and its nickname "Green City". The ribbon of the mascot is designed from the Yellow River, the cradle of Chinese civilization. The mascot in a leaping posture expresses its warm welcome to the people across the world.

本届“博博会”吉祥物“鼎鼎”以郑州出土的商代“杜岭方鼎二号鼎”为形象基础，取“鼎立中原”之寓意。吉祥物以青铜器绿锈色为主色调，代表郑州深厚的历史与“绿城”的别称。吉祥物“鼎鼎”身披飘带，飘带以黄河为原型，表达黄河作为中华文明摇篮的含义；呈欢腾跳跃之姿，以欢迎八方文博同仁来到郑州共襄盛会。

Covering 60 thousand square meters, the 9th MPT-EXPO is divided into 4 exhibition areas with participants from 645 museums and enterprises.

据介绍，本届“博博会”共有四大展区，展览总面积6万平方米，目前共有645家博物馆和企业参展。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/徐建勋 何可 编译/赵汉青 实习生/郑舒阳 审校/焦丹）
