Chiara De Gregorio, a postdoctoral researcher in archaeology from Italy at Fudan University’s Department of History, recently visited Henan Province in the Chinese mainland. She described Henan as one of the most culturally rich regions, highlighting the Henan Museum’s extensive collection as an excellent window into Chinese culture.
Dr. De Gregorio regards Henan as a sacred land for archaeology, essential for exploring the origins of Chinese dynasties and civilization. She believes that Henan’s unique geographical advantages position it to reveal even more historical mysteries, solidifying its status as one of the cradles of Chinese civilization.
In her discussions, Dr. De Gregorio pointed out notable similarities between Chinese and ancient Greek civilizations, particularly in ceramic patterns and architectural structures. These insights not only bridge cultural gaps but also enhance our understanding of the interconnectedness of ancient societies.
