A delegation of media representatives from Latin America and the Caribbean recently toured the Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital in Luoyang, Henan Province, delving into the cradle of Chinese civilization during a cultural exchange program organized by CGTN.
The visit, part of the 'Journey to Chinese Civilization: Henan' initiative, showcased artifacts dating back over 3,800 years, including bronze ware and ceremonial items from China’s earliest recorded dynasty. Archaeologists highlighted how the site represents a critical link in understanding state formation and urban development in East Asia.
Participants engaged with interactive displays demonstrating ancient agricultural tools and oracle bone inscriptions, drawing parallels between early Chinese innovations and pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas. 'This is more than history—it's a dialogue between ancient wisdom and modern curiosity,' noted one delegate.
Luoyang, recognized as one of China’s Four Great Ancient Capitals, continues to serve as a living museum of cultural confluence. The event underscores growing global interest in Asia’s shared heritage as nations seek historical context for contemporary cross-cultural partnerships.
