China is a nation with a great civilization, and its ancient artifacts carry the country's memory. In the Living Artifacts animated series, cultural relics come alive to tell the stories they hold.
Today, we highlight He Zun, a 3,000-year-old bronze wine vessel. It bears the earliest known written form of the Chinese characters "中國 (zhongguo)", which refers to China.
President Xi Jinping took a close look at He Zun during a visit to the Baoji Bronze Ware Museum in Shaanxi province in 2024 and has spoken about it on many occasions. Check out the animation to discover more.?
