The Sound of Camel Bells - The Grand Exhibition of Silk Road Art

1507 years ago, the towering Yongning Temple Pagoda in the great metropolis of Luoyang on the Silk Road rose from the ground - "It stands a thousand feet tall. A hundred miles from the capital, it can already be seen from afar." This Buddhist pagoda, a marvel of "exhaustive efforts in construction and the ultimate in crafting shapes," with its "treasured bells chiming in harmony, the clear ringing sound could be heard for more than ten miles." The 'inconceivable' wonder, admired by the people of the time, although it only stood for 18 years, has brought endless imagination to later generations for 1500 years. As the world changes and the seas turn to mulberry fields, the people who created the objects and art of the Silk Road, and their environment, have long since passed away, but the feelings of looking up to the earth and the stars of the ancient times are preserved through art. How can we present this precious, rich, and subtle perceptual power in a contemporary way? Come to the Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum See - The Sound of Camel Bells - The Grand Exhibition of Silk Road Art
