The series of cultural and creative products “Dream of Hometown” designed and produced by the ancestor worship ceremony this year with the Yellow Emperor culture as the common thread, together with many characteristic cultural and creative products from Henan Museum and Palace Museum are taken as a souvenir , which will be distributed to each guest attending the ceremony to make more overseas Chinese feel Chinese culture, understand and spread it through the tangible cultural products.
The success of the Yellow Emperor Worship Ceremony in Britain imbued with the wish for peace and harmony from overseas Chinese. At the same time, as the inheritance gene of the root culture, it has been passed down from generation to generation among overseas Chinese. It has become an important name card for overseas Chinese to spread Chinese culture and tell Chinese stories. It has also built a new platform for cultural exchanges between China and Britain aas well as mutual learning between eastern and western civilizations. (reporter/Zhao Wenjing)
