Office of the President Republic of China(Taiwan)

「府－Power To The People」

Gentleness is Power

The people of Taiwan are the true source of the nation's power. Taiwanese society is adaptable, with a gentle and fluid flexibility that allows the country to push for change and progress while being tolerant and inclusive. The Taiwanese people are also resilient, with an unwavering character that allows them to safeguard the ideals of democracy and freedom through tumultuous times.

To convey the message of "gentleness is power," the designers chose pink as the main visual design's primary color, because it represents gentleness, freedom, courage, and love. The Chinese characters for "Taiwan" and "World" are melded together, symbolizing their inseparability. Taiwan is of the world, and Taiwan is engaging with the world. In the past, present, and looking to the future, Taiwan will continue to keep pace with the world, led by a group of people who love this land and carry with them a gentle yet resolute conviction.

Special Exhibition info

Kemasi Maza

Academic studies in the fields of linguistics, culture, genetics, archaeology, and botany have shown that not only are the indigenous peoples of Taiwan part of the Austronesians but that Taiwan was in fact the origin of the Austronesian migration, hence the title "Kemasi Maza", which means "starting from here" in the Paiwan language, one of Taiwan's indigenous languages. Through this exhibition, you will learn about the traditional knowledge of Taiwan indigenous peoples, the cultural connections between Austronesians in the world, as well as how Taiwan indigenous peoples interact and exchange with others internationally, and appreciate the beauty of the multicultural indigenous peoples of Taiwan.
