Flower plaque information


The Chinese flower plaque in the Chinese University of Hong Kong(CUHK).

The flower plaque (Chinese: 花牌; Jyutping: faa1 paai4) is a traditional craft in China. It is a gigantic bamboo banner approximately 110-feet (40m) wide and 34-foot (10m) high. They are built to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals, weddings and inaugurations. The plaques symbolise luck, happiness and prosperity. The materials used are mainly bamboos, wires, paper, fabric and plastics with red and bright colour. It is usually built to be a theatre or the entrance.[1] We can find Chinese flower plaques in New Territories such as Tin Hau Temple and Yuen Long.
