Hey culture buffs and history geeks! 👋 On December 8, 2025, China Media Group (CMG) launched the newest season of its 22-episode documentary, 'In Search of Ancient China'. Airing on CCTV-1 and CMG’s online platforms, the first three episodes take us into the mysteries of the Sanxingdui Ruins — one of the most mind-blowing archaeological sites in the Chinese mainland.
Using clues from dig sites, ancient texts, cultural relics, and the lives of early civilizations, the series unpacks how Chinese civilization began, evolved, and flourished in a tapestry of cultures. Think of it as a real-life RPG quest, where each artifact is a new level unlocked! 🏺✨
Why it matters: This season showcases the latest breakthroughs in archaeology and history, shining a light on the “pluralistic unity” that shaped one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. Whether you’re a history newbie or a seasoned explorer, you’ll find fresh insights and epic visuals.
