OVER 180 North American teenagers and university students have participated in a “cloud dialogue,” learning about the legendary Sanxingdui Ruins in China.

Named “Night at Sanxingdui Museum,” the online event was jointly held Monday by the Department of International Chinese Education of Southwest Jiaotong University in Sichuan Province, Sichuan International Communication Center, the Chinese School Association in the United States, the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archeology Research Institute, and the Sanxingdui Museum.

The one-hour event targets foreign youth who are learning the Chinese language and are interested in Chinese culture. It will also be held for young learners in European countries.

With the help of 3D technology, the event presented various kinds of cultural relics in the Sanxingdui Museum.

The participants also engaged in an interactive activity to restore and decorate the cultural relics and craft their own creative works.

Discovered in the late 1920s, the Sanxingdui Ruins have been called one of the world’s greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. (Xinhua)
