China Crafted: Are you ready to explore ancient Chinese artifacts?
China Crafted, the latest season of CGTN Art Series, is set to launch soon, offering an immersive digital experience of timeless artifacts from China's Shang (c. 1600-1046 BCE), Han (206 BCE-220), Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties.
As a flagship digital art project by CGTN, the CGTN Art Series has released three interactive digital exhibitions since its launch in 2022: The Song, Painted – People, The Song Painted – Nature and Tang Architecture: Building Timeless Glory.
The upcoming season of the series, China Crafted, will spotlight the beauty of Chinese cultural relics from four dynasties, focusing on timeless treasures, such as jade, lacquerware, gold and silver artifacts, and porcelain.
The multimedia product will feature over 160 representative artifacts from more than 30 partner museums worldwide. Through four interactive webpages and four original video productions featuring animations and expert interviews, the exhibition will explore the craftsmanship behind the artifacts as well as the spiritual and cultural values embedded in them.
The virtual exhibition will have four sections:
"Sacred Shang" will trace the ritual symbolism of Shang Dynasty jade, leading into the legendary story of Fu Hao, one of China's earliest recorded female generals.
"Heavenly Han" will draw from the Mawangdui Han tombs to reveal Han Dynasty lifestyles and the philosophical pursuit of longevity embodied in lacquerware and silk.
"Treasured Tang" will capture the splendor of the Tang Dynasty through exquisite gold and silverware objects once used in imperial banquets.
"Serene Song" will focus on the forms and textures of Song Dynasty ceramics, interpreting the poetic sensibility and Neo-Confucian ethos they convey.
So, get ready to step into history, explore the craftsmanship of ancient Chinese artifacts, and uncover the stories and spirit behind each timeless treasure.
