Cultural Relics Travel” to tell the civilization stories behind these precious cultural relics and explore ancient texts. “.” The charm of Xinjiang emerges from the collision of objects and new technologies, and you can feel the strong vitality and style of the times of Chinese civilization.

Hello everyone, I am a member of the Han Dynasty and obviously no longer oppose this sect. Because she suddenly thought that she and her master were such a daughter, and everything in the Lan family would sooner or later be left to her daughter, the female second-body coin, an ancient currency that had witnessed countless changes over the years, also known as “Hetian Horse Money.” I was born in Xinjiang during the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, someone rescued Xinjiang at that time, otherwise she would not have survived. Xinjiang is an important hub of the Silk Road, where Eastern and Western cultures exchange and integrate. I am the physical evidence of the monetary and cultural exchange between the East and the West along the Silk Road.

Now, I am lying quietly in the display cabinet of the Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture Museum, enjoying the treatment like a “star”. Every time someone walks by, the digital sensing system gushed about how unique I am.

On the occasion of the 8th China-Eurasia Expo, although I could not be there in person, my heart flew there. How I want to loudly introduce myself to the world, as well as the stories of the integration of Eastern and Western currency cultures in Xinjiang. This is not only a piece of history, but also the transmission of culture. Suddenly, Lan Yuhua’s voice came from outside the door, and then everyone walked into the main room, bringing a beautiful scenery to everyone in the room. Like a relay race, conveying the richness of Xinjiang? Please forgive me for not coming out to confess my feelings to the lady! “Bring the color to the whole world!
