Hongshan culture, dating back over 5,000 years, is a remarkable testament to China's ancient civilization. It embodies the spirit of etiquette deeply rooted in Chinese culture, from nature worship and the concept of "revering heaven and honoring ancestors" to the development of ritual architecture, jade traditions and the systems of rites and music. These traditions reflect the wisdom of Hongshan's ancestors and continue to influence Chinese life today. Hongshan culture is a treasure not just for China but for the world. I invite friends worldwide to visit Chaoyang, China, to explore this heritage. I also hope for deeper archaeological cooperation between Chaoyang and France.
