Foreword
Deepen the exploration into ancient China to trace the history of Xi’an; look forward to the future to create novel and immersive experience. For thousands of years, 13 dynasties found their presence in ups and downs of history on the land of Xi’an and left deep imprints on the revolution of the culture of the city. Since ancient times, intelligent Xi’an people have created and innovated culture, integrated it with other cultures, and injected remarkable achievements into the development of the ancestry of Chinese civilization.
The ‘Ancient China Brought to Life — Xi’an Modern Cultural Creativity Online Exhibition’ is co-hosted by China Cultural Centre in Sydney and Xi’an Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism. It will present the charm of Xi’an in ancient and modern times with splendid features through live-action performances and the presentation of folk villages, immersive spaces, ancient-style gardens, historical streets, and theme blocks. The flickering flames of history in the urban area, the love story that has been extolled for thousands of years, the silent and natural folk villages, the graceful classic gardens, and theme blocks with lingering songs of the Qin style are waiting for you in the images deeply integrating the history and modernity. Just several clicks, a vivid scroll presented via digital means with immersive cultural ideas will unfold in front of you. The fashionable and colorful city of Xi’an will bring you diverse and variegated magical experience and numerous mysteries of the Chinese civilization are waiting for you to explore. It’s believed that the Exhibition will let Australians learn more about the splendid Xi’an and the broad China, which will further deepen the friendship of Chinese and Australian peoples.
