Noah Holdings Opens Thangka Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition in Shanghai, Celebrating a New Generation of Inheritors

Published

on

By

“The Call of the Third Pole — Visage of the Future” Runs April 26 Through July 31 at the Noah N+ Art Center

SHANGHAI, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Noah Holdings Limited (“Noah” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), an AI-native wealth management firm headquartered in Singapore and serving global Chinese families, recently opened a themed exhibition of Thangka intangible cultural heritage at the Noah N+ Art Center in Shanghai.

As global wealth becomes increasingly cross-border and multi-generational, families are finding that cultural continuity matters just as much as financial allocation.

The exhibition, titled “The Call of the Third Pole — Visage of the Future,” presents works by new-generation inheritors of Regong arts and Thangka tradition. Their artistry bridges centuries of tradition with contemporary expression, offering a glimpse into the future of this ancient craft.

The opening coincides with the Symposium on the High-Quality Inheritance and Innovative Creation of Intangible Buddhist Civilizational Art, reinforcing the Noah N+ Art Center’s role as a space where cultural preservation and wealth management intersect to serve the needs of global Chinese families.

A Six-Century Tradition, Seen Through the Eyes of Its Next Generation

Thangka is a form of Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting with more than six centuries of documented lineage, originating on the Tibetan Plateau and often described as “the language of the Third Pole.”

The exhibition presents works by a selected cohort of next-generation inheritors of the Regong and Menthang schools, the two most influential lineages in Thangka painting. Hailing from Lhasa and Shigatse in Tibet, as well as from Regong, the renowned hometown of intangible cultural heritage Thangka art, the artists have an average age of under 40, and most began formal apprenticeships between the ages of 8 and 10.

A single Thangka can take anywhere from six months to several years to complete, using mineral pigments such as malachite, cinnabar, and pure gold. Each piece adheres to the precise iconometric canons of the Sutra of Iconometric Measurements. Recognized for its cultural significance, Thangka was inscribed on China’s first National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2006, and Regong Arts was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.

For many high-net-worth families, preserving such traditions is no longer separate from wealth planning. It is part of how they define and transfer value across generations.

Where Cultural Heritage Meets Wealth Stewardship

The exhibition is the second major curatorial project of the Noah N+ Art Center, following its inaugural exhibition, “Hub: The Endless Exploration of Art”. Guided by the philosophy of “art as life,” it reflects Noah Holdings’ broader commitment to fostering cultural preservation as an extension of its mission to serve global Chinese families, whose needs increasingly span asset allocation, wealth inheritance, and longer-horizon questions of cultural continuity.

“Long-lasting value, whether financial or cultural, is not measured in cycles. It is nurtured across generations. We are seeing a growing number of global Chinese families realize this and integrate both financial and cultural heritage into their longer-term vision of wealth.” Zander Yin, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Noah Holdings, said, “Asset allocation is our profession, and cultural grounding supports how we create value. By presenting the work of a new generation of Thangka painters before their work has gained wider recognition, we provide clients with early and exclusive access to cultural value. We see this as consistent with how we approach allocation itself: identifying value before it is fully priced.”

For global Chinese families whose inheritance questions now span jurisdictions and generations, cultural continuity has become part of the conversation about wealth itself. The Noah N+ Art Center is built around that longer horizon: it is a place to connect with a living tradition, and more importantly, engage with the artists shaping its future before everybody else does.

Dates: April 26–July 31, 2026
Venue: Noah N+ Art Center, Hongqiao International Business District, Shanghai

Major exercise completed with the Hong Kong Police Force, INTERPOL, and Agencies and Forces from Macau SAR, Singapore and South Korea

HONG KONG and SINGAPORE, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ThreatBook played a mission-critical role in Hong Kong’s recent Counter Cyber and Physical Terrorism Joint Exercise 2026, staged on 16 April. The exercise, codenamed “STEALTHNET”, was organised by the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) in collaboration with INTERPOL, and police forces and agencies from other jurisdictions, to enhance counter-terrorism preparedness across various sectors, and strengthen preparedness for terrorist activities and large-scale international attacks.

Participating overseas public sector bodies included the Macao Judiciary Police, the Singapore Police Force, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, and the Korean National Police Agency.

As a key partner of the HKPF’s Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau (CSTCB), the region’s cybersecurity special operations unit, ThreatBook proudly served as the sole cybersecurity provider for this exercise. The company provided comprehensive technical support and intelligence analysis services throughout the event, collaborating with the various law enforcement agencies and infrastructure operators to jointly strengthen cross-border counter-terrorism security defenses.

The large-scale simulation brought together more than 380 participants, including representatives from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and several banks. Hong Kong’s Police Commissioner, Joe Chow Yat-ming, attended and oversaw the exercise, providing guidance.

The event focused on the increasingly complex global hybrid terrorist threats, simulating a variety of realistic emergency scenarios to comprehensively test the collaborative response capabilities of all parties. The exercise remained closely aligned with core cross-border counter-terrorism requirements throughout. It simulated scenarios involving the financing of terrorist activities and simultaneous attacks by cross-border terrorist organizations on financial institutions, the aviation industry, and healthcare systems across the four jurisdictions of Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Singapore and South Korea.

The exercise also simulated high-risk situations such as the placement of explosive devices at large-scale event venues and drone-induced disruptions. The exercise tested the participating units’ capabilities in intelligence sharing, rapid response, joint handling, and coordinated operations under high-pressure conditions — further strengthening the cooperative ties between law enforcement agencies and critical infrastructure operators in participating jurisdictions.

As a leading player in Asia’s cybersecurity sector, ThreatBook leveraged its extensive threat intelligence resources and professional technical expertise to play a mission-critical role throughout the entire exercise. ThreatBook’s teams in  Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Singapore each executed their responsibilities unhindered while coordinating and collaborating closely. The different teams conducted precise cyber threat intelligence analysis, and provided technical guidance and recommendations on critical aspects such as malware attack techniques and threat dissection, thereby assisting local police forces in efficiently identifying and addressing cyber threats.

“With the rapid proliferation of digitalization globally, the convergence of cyberattacks and terrorist activities has become increasingly evident. Cross-border threats know no boundaries, and defense efforts likewise require cross-border coordination. ThreatBook’s invitation to participate in this exercise not only reflects the high recognition of its technical capabilities by the HKPF and various partner organizations; but also serves as a concrete manifestation of its commitment to its mission of safeguarding digital security,” said Mr. Chase Li, Co-founder and Managing Director of International Business at ThreatBook.

The company’s participation further demonstrates its robust capabilities in protecting critical information infrastructure and responding swiftly to cross-border threats. Previously, ThreatBook was appointed as a member of the HKPF’s Cyber Security Action Task Force (CSATF) and has repeatedly provided support and assistance for regional cybersecurity efforts.

Looking ahead, ThreatBook will continue to deepen its expertise in the cybersecurity field, focusing on the security needs of the Hong Kong and Macau regions. The company will strengthen its close collaboration with law enforcement agencies and industry partners in Hong Kong and Macau regions.
