Hong Kong Palace Museum

Dunhuang and the Palace Museum serve as both manifestations and custodians of traditional Chinese culture. Dunhuang is a treasure trove of cultural relics spanning over a millennium, from the Han to the Yuan dynasties. In contrast, the Palace Museum testifies to the continuity and dissemination of Chinese culture during the Ming and Qing dynasties. These two remarkable cultural heritage sites not only embody the enduring legacy of ancient Chinese civilisation but also reflect the distinct splendour of each cultural heritage site.

Through an exploration of the formation, development, and preservation of Dunhuang and the Palace Museum, this talk aims to inspire the audiences to embrace their own cultural heritage with confidence. By fostering a more open-minded and inclusive appreciation of all human civilisation’s outstanding achievements, we hope to cultivate a nation with strong cultural influence, safeguard humanity’s precious cultural heritage, and strive towards building a community with a shared future for mankind.
