The lecture, entitled “The Belt and Road and the Shanxi Ancient Road: Shanxi Civilization and International Exhibition Narrative” will be given by Gao Zhenhua, deputy director of the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology (with simultaneous translation).
The speaker will discuss China’s Shanxi province’s topographical advantages, rich archaeological heritage and the international significance of it, as well as Shanxi’s role in the formation and development of Chinese civilization. He will also present important archaeological excavations in that region, starting with the first independent fieldwork conducted in 1926 in the Xiyin village of Shanxi Province’s Xia County, which laid the foundation for the scientific traditions of Chinese archaeology.
