On September 26, the "A Shining Star: Joint Exhibition of Photos of Lingjiatan Relics" successfully concluded at the National Museum of Bangladesh, marking the end of the "overseas journey" for 50 display panels symbolizing the 50th anniversary of China-Bangladesh diplomatic relations and 38 replica jade artifacts. "This is the first time Lingjiatan culture has been showcased abroad, making its debut in a Belt and Road Initiative partner country," said Lei Xiufo, Director of the Anhui Museum.
Lingjiatan culture, alongside the Hongshan and Liangzhu cultures, is recognized as one of China's three major prehistoric jade cultures. The Lingjiatan archaeological site, located in Hanshan County, Anhui Province, has yielded a significant number of important jade artifacts since its discovery in 1985. It is a representative site of the first stage of China's "Ancient State Era" and a key component of both the Tracing the Origins of Chinese Civilization project and the national Archaeology China program.
"Lingjiatan culture serves as a 'key' to narrating the story of Chinese civilization. This exhibition draws on research findings from the Tracing the Origins of Chinese Civilization project to showcase the long history and cultural richness of Chinese civilization," said Lei Xiufo, who recently returned from Bangladesh.
The exhibition was divided into three sections: "Mysterious Burial Practices," "Enigmatic Jade Rituals," and "Ancient Hearth and Home." Through display panels and replica jade artifacts, it featured iconic Lingjiatan cultural relics such as jade eagles, jade dragons, and jade human figures, highlighting the site's abundant historical remains and profound cultural significance. Since its opening on August 25, the exhibition has attracted over 12,000 visitors.
