CMG launches cultural program "The Legend of Silk Manuscripts"

A major cultural program called The Legend of Silk Manuscripts was launched in Beijing on Tuesday, delving into the rich heritage of ancient texts to showcase the latest archaeological discoveries related to silk manuscripts and paintings.

Co-produced by China Media Group (CMG) and the National Cultural Heritage Administration, the five-episode program talks stories about silk manuscripts, a distinctive recording method of the ancient Chinese civilization.

Brushing away the dust of millennia, the program aims to help audiences appreciate the ethnic wisdom and spiritual essence embedded in these texts through dialogues that span across time, Shen Haixiong, president of CMG, said at the launching ceremony.

In the past six years, CMG has actively preserved and promoted traditional cultural resources, achieving success with innovative programs that have garnered widespread acclaim both domestically and internationally, Shen said.

The Legend of Silk Manuscripts program will explore various aspects of silk manuscripts, including recent archaeological findings, their stories of discovery, research efforts, academic significance, and cultural implications.

Utilizing AI technology, the program will bring the ancient artifacts to life and attempt to digitally reconstruct and translate fragmented texts, providing viewers with a fresh, immersive experience.

Vice President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Gilles Carbonnier on Saturday said he was encouraged by the humanitarian organization's deepening relationship with China.

In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) during the 11th Xiangshan Forum, Carbonnier said the ICRC has not only been engaged in dialogue with China and other states, but has also welcomed the country's involvement in the launch of programs to help people affected by conflicts.

"China is definitely a major player. We really are very encouraged to see that our relationship with the PLA, with the People's Liberation Army, with the Ministry of Defense deepening on several issues of common interest, especially on International Humanitarian Law and humanitarian priorities. We at the ICRC really look forward to developing this dialogue, of course, here in Beijing, but also as we're doing in Geneva, in New York, as well as in the field, for example, where Chinese peacekeepers are also active," he said.

The three-day Xiangshan Forum opened on Thursday in Beijing, attracting more than 500 representatives of official delegations from more than 100 countries and international organizations, and over 200 experts and scholars to discuss global security.

At the forum, Carbonnier delivered a speech on the topic of the international mechanism and global security governance.
