Taiwan black bears serve giant pandas?

Sightseeing poster "Bearing on the River" makes Taipei City "Members" uncomfortable

  [Global Network Reporter Zhao Youping] According to Taiwanese media sources, a “bear-bearing picture” on the Taiwan subway intended to attract tourists has hurt the heart of Taipei City Councillor Chen Yijun: The Taiwanese black bear working in the painting was interpreted by him as a Taiwanese black bear. Serve giant pandas from the mainland.

  In the past two days, many Taiwanese media have been hyping up an advertising picture of Taipei Underground Street located in Beijing Railway Station and Beijielian Pass. Many people are familiar with its painting style because it is a bit similar to "The Riverside Picture on Qingming Festival".

Taiwan's "Zhongshi News Network" stated that not only black bears appear in the works, but also giant pandas, brown bears, and so on. All the people working in the picture are "Taiwan black bears."

  However, it is the Taiwanese black bear working in the painting that makes some people on the island uncomfortable.

  The Taiwanese black bear has always been known as the most representative wild animal in Taiwan. Many local companies, enterprises, and local governments have chosen it as a mascot. It is one of the famous Taiwanese images.

  According to Taiwan’s "Liberty Times" report, yesterday (26th), Taipei City Councillor Chen Yijun suddenly posted a message saying that "Bearing on the River Picture" was "targeted, extremely disrespectful, and uncomfortable." She believes that it is in the painting. The Taiwanese black bear seems to be serving giant pandas from the mainland. "This kind of creativity has lost its proper pattern and height."

  Taiwan’s "Liberty Times" mentioned that Chen Yijun also said that in the current tension of the People’s Liberation Army around Taiwan and Taiwan and the mainland, such a painting is indeed prone to trigger associations among Taiwanese, “Taiwan black bear is Taiwan’s national bear. The Taiwanese black bear should not be used as a symbol of dwarfing."

  According to Taiwan media, this painting is called "Bears on the River" and was drawn by Taiwanese illustrator Chuang Xintang in 2014 that copied the "Ching Ming Dynasty on the River". He replaced all the characters in the painting with bears, including Taiwanese black bears, polar bears, big pandas, brown bears, etc. As for all the black bears working in the painting, Johnson Johnson once explained that the "Bear Bear on the River" painted "the current situation in Taiwan."

  Regarding the painting's renewed discussion, Johnson Johnson responded in an interview with Taiwan's "Sanli News Network" that the painting is only a "pure creation". He thinks that everyone's imagination is too rich, and related questions have been answered in the past two years. I hope not to talk about it anymore. When it comes to politics, don't over-interpret it.

  The Taiwan Railway Administration, the governing body of the "Blooming River Picture" billboard, stated that the painting is a public interest illustration advertisement and has been displayed for more than two years.

As for the creation concept of the painting, the Taiwan Railway Administration said that the author has personally responded that the painting was created in 2014, mainly to show the current situation of Taiwan at that time; Taiwan Railways respects related artistic creations, but there are currently research proposals. Replace it.

  Taipei City Councillor Chen Yijun's remarks drew netizens on the island to ridicule: Seeing so carefully and so glass-hearted, there are obviously white bears and brown bears walking around, not just giant pandas.

  Some netizens said that art insisting on politics is boring.

In addition, if you look closely, black bears also sell chicken chops. Is that coolie?

Is there a problem with making money and not stealing or grabbing?

  Some netizens said that it's really boring, and now Taiwanese legislators are so good to behave, and they can get paid by talking nonsense.

  Some netizens on the island said that in fact, the "Blooming River Picture" is not wrong. The tourists are mainlanders (giant pandas) and Taiwanese (black bears) provide services. The metaphor is appropriate and there is nothing wrong with it.
