China's Xixia Imperial Tombs were officially added to the UNESCO World Heritage List on Friday. An old photo captures the mysterious silhouette of the Xixia Imperial Tombs beneath the Helan Mountains. These ancient rammed-earth platforms are powerful traces of history and enduring symbols of cultural fusion. From the Xixia gilt bronze bull statue and the constructional component chiwen to the Tangut script inspired by Chinese characters, each artifact is a legacy of shared creativity. Today, Yuanxi, China Daily's digital host, invites you to journey through this layered past and discover the grandeur of interactions and exchanges among the Chinese ethnic groups.
