Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the Palace Museum in Beijing this Monday to check out its centenary exhibition marking 100 years since the museum’s founding. As general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, Xi gave a keynote tour and encouraged teams to step up preservation work, calling the museum “a hallmark of Chinese civilization.” 🎉🏛️
The Palace Museum has spent a century collecting and showcasing priceless artworks, royal relics, and ancient manuscripts. This special exhibit brings together highlights from its vast archives, reminding us of the power of cultural heritage to inspire and unite. From delicate porcelain to grand calligraphy scrolls, each piece tells a story across time.
For young tech‐savvy fans in South Asia and Southeast Asia, the message is clear: safeguarding history is vital, especially in our fast‐moving digital age. Whether you’re scrolling through social feeds or passing by landmarks in your city, take a moment to appreciate the art, craft, and resilience behind every treasured object. 🌟
Xi’s visit underlines a broader push in the Chinese mainland to protect and promote cultural sites. It also echoes wider regional trends—think efforts to restore ancient temples in Cambodia or digital archives of South Asian manuscripts—that aim to preserve our shared human story.
