Wuyue Culture: Nourishes Chinese Civilization over Millennia
- Share
Every land nurtures its own culture. Together, the diverse array of distinctive local traditional cultures forms the splendid tapestry of Chinese civilization. To this end, we present the “Cultural China”, a video series that takes you on a journey through the cultural threads of different regions, inviting you to savor the rich humanistic heritage that each episode has to offer.
The Wuyue cultural tradition originated in the Taihu Lake and Qiantang River basins in China, drawing on the past to enrich the present. From the prehistoric Jiangnan culture, the tumultuous events of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), and the calligraphic grace of the Orchid Pavilion, extending to the Zhejiang School of Practical Statecraft, and the modern pioneers from Zhejiang who wielded their pens as weapons to awaken the nation – this heritage endures. In the new era, Zhejiang Province safeguards its civilizational roots, revitalizes its cultural heritage, and leverages major platforms and grand events to enable its millennia-old Wuyue culture to shine with contemporary brilliance. Watch the video to learn more.
