CGTN's upcoming series Civilizations Shine embarks on a 5,000-year journey through the Chinese mainland's cultural heritage. The first episodes spotlight the enigmatic Liangzhu jade artifacts and the rustic elegance of Han dynasty pottery, tracing how early craftsmanship reflected social values and technological leaps.
Later installments explore the ethereal grace of Northern-and-Southern-Dynasties sculptures alongside the soaring beauty of Ming and Qing architecture. These relics paint a vivid narrative of 'What makes China Chinese' and reveal the enduring spirit behind 'Why China endures.'
Scheduled to premiere on May 19, the series connects young global citizens, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and travelers with millennia-old treasures that continue to inspire today's innovations in art, design, and cultural exchange. Civilizations Shine will be available on CGTN's international platforms.
