Pundits Speak of China: Italian scholar finds similarities between Chinese and ancient Greek civilizations

Chiara De Gregorio, a postdoctoral researcher in archaeology from Italy at Fudan University’s Department of History, was deeply impressed while visiting Henan Province, which she regards as one of the most culturally rich regions in China. In her view, the Henan Museum, with its extensive collection, serves as an excellent window into Chinese culture, sparking her interest in exploration.

Dr. De Gregorio considers Henan a sacred land for archaeology and a key site for exploring the origin of Chinese dynasties and civilization. Thanks to its unique geographical advantages, Henan is likely to reveal even more historical mysteries in the future, as it is undeniably one of the cradles of the Chinese civilization.

When discussing the relationship between Chinese and ancient Greek civilizations, she pointed out notable similarities, particularly in the patterns of ceramics and architectural structures.
