A special exhibition of the China Media Group’s (CMG) “Journey Through Civilizations: An Encounter with Liangzhu” 2024 World Tour offers visitors an immersive, digital experience of ancient Chinese culture from around 5,000 years ago. The exhibition, which has previously been held in Ethiopia, Egypt, Japan and at the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York City, marks its latest stop on its global tour.
The Liangzhu culture, dating back 5,300 to 4,000 years, is one of the archaeological cultures of China’s Neolithic period and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2019. The Liangzhu site, located in the Yangtze River Basin on the south-eastern coast of the country, the archaeological ruins of Liangzhu (about 3,300-2,300 BCE) reveal an early regional state with a unified belief system based on rice cultivation in Late Neolithic China. The property is composed of four areas – the Area of Yaoshan Site, the Area of High-dam at the Mouth of the Valley, the Area of Low-dam on the Plain and the Area of City Site. These ruins are an outstanding example of early urban civilization expressed in earthen monuments, urban planning, a water conservation system and a social hierarchy expressed in differentiated burials in cemeteries within the property.
