One-day International Symposium – Along the Steppe-Silk Road

This full-day international symposium, in conjunction with the exhibition “Gold from Dragon City: Masterpieces of Three Yan from Liaoning, 337-436,” provides an immersive environment to investigate Three Yan artifacts and discover the life of the once-dominated ancient nomad tribe Murong Xianbei, alongside prominent scholars in the field. Through various artifacts, from the shining golden headdress buyao, a signature craft adored by Murong Xianbei, to horse armory such as stirrup, a major equipment breakthrough that boosted cavalry development, the program reflects on the importance of ethnic integration and cultural exchanges that could propel civilization.
