Planting rice, complete sets of agricultural tools, irrigation systems... Walking into the Liangzhu Museum located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, British archaeologist Robin Cunningham frequently recorded what he saw with his camera, not missing any interesting details. Although this is Cunningham's first visit to China, 'Liangzhu' is an indispensable part of the world civilization course he teaches in the distant British classroom. After returning, I can show the physical pictures of Liangzhu to the students Koningham pointed to the exhibit he was most interested in - a stone sickle. The overall color of the stone tool is black brown, with a flat body resembling a spear shape and a single-sided curved blade. It was a farming tool used by the ancestors in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China 5000 years ago for harvesting. The emergence of the stone sickle has epoch-making significance, enabling mass production of rice harvesting. Previously, I only saw it in books. I finally witnessed it today, it's really interesting Koningham said. The second "Liangzhu Forum" was recently held in Hangzhou. More than 300 archaeologists, writers, musicians, and other Chinese and foreign guests from over 60 countries and regions came here to visit the holy land of Liangzhu, which has witnessed over 5000 years of Chinese civilization history, to explore historical sites and appreciate the charm of civilization. Walking in the exhibition hall, scholars found that the development and dissemination of ancient technology in Liangzhu ran through the entire space. When traditional cultural relics are displayed in combination with large-scale oil paintings, digital multimedia, 3D printing, and AR technology, the characteristics of early civilization "zero distance" emerge before people's eyes. Visitors can experience the historical grandeur of Liangzhu Ancient City firsthand. When I first came to Liangzhu 10 years ago, I needed to imagine the ancient city's form 5000 years ago in my mind. Nowadays, the Liangzhu Ancient City ruins have been able to present their 'original appearance' very well, which has greatly inspired me Professor Akira Mita from the University of Tokyo in Japan said. Mitan Rang is a special researcher at the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Archaeology. A few days ago, he conducted a compositional study on a batch of pottery unearthed from tombs at the Liangzhu site. He found that the raw materials for making these pottery did not only come from the local area of Liangzhu. At that time, Liangzhu had already become a city, and many people and things may have come from afar. Why do people build this city? Why are we gathering here again? This is the topic that interests me the most Mita Rang said that if I can gain more discoveries through communication on the "Liangzhu Forum", "that would be a very happy thing for me". In the Liangzhu Museum, the remains of handmade artifacts such as jade, pottery, and stone tools left over 5000 years ago by the Liangzhu civilization have attracted the attention of archaeologists. Liangzhu is truly impressive Professor Inosan Pigirai, an archaeologist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, said that when he first visited China in 2019, he made visiting Liangzhu his "top priority". Pigilai believes that the discovery of Liangzhu is not only related to precious handmade products, but also to the origin of civilization. It is very important to emphasize where we come from. Equally important, we should learn how to shape the path to the future from our past values. Walking into the Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, the wind blows and the reeds sway. Polish saxophonist Pavel Gusna was fascinated by this and took out his phone to show reporters several cherished photos. That was in February this year, at the "Chinese Spring Festival National Concert" held by the National Philharmonic Concert Hall in Warsaw, Poland, he and the Central National Orchestra jointly performed the classic song Jasmine. The scenery of Liangzhu is very close to my soul, my feelings, and my emotions. Perhaps in the future, when I play my favorite saxophone, especially Chinese music, I will think of what I have thought, seen, and heard during this wonderful journey Gusna said. (New Society)
