  Embroidering Beautiful China
  Chinese people have crafted countless exquisite and colorful works with needle and thread. The history of Chinese embroidery can be traced back at least 3,000 years. The oldest embroidery pattern on record in China is simple and rough chain embroidery found in relics from the Shang and Zhou dynasties (1600-256 B.C.).
  Tracing the origin and development path of Chinese embroidery provides a glimpse of the history of Chinese clothing, society, and culture. Through complex and varying patterns, stitches, and materials, it captured and interpreted the aesthetic concepts of Chinese style to present a splendid image of the country.

  Stories of Amber
  Amber is one of the most precious natural materials, and it preserves things from thousands of years ago, wrapping them in stories of the past.
  Tracing the art from the earliest amber relics discovered in prehistoric Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province to the robust collection from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) shines intense light on the aesthetics and skills of ancient Chinese artists and craftsmen. Since China has never been a major amber producing country, amber relics also provide evidence of links between China and neighboring countries by preserving contact and exchange stories involving distant countries and regions in ancient times.

  Dreams at Hengdian World Studios
  Located in Dongyang, eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, Hengdian World Studios, dubbed“China’s Hollywood,”is one of the country’s biggest film and television production centers and a bellwether of the film industry.
  Due to the coronavirus outbreak, production was suspended, dealing a heavy blow to the entire film and television industry. Some film extras from Hengdian World Studios have to work in local factories or deliver food temporarily to keep their dreams alive. As the epidemic wanes, an increasing number of paused film and teleplay crews have resumed work in Hengdian. Many outside crews have moved into Hengdian as well. The remaining “dream chasers” are also returning to work and normal life.

  Consumption Boosts Vitality
  In the post-epidemic era, retaliatory saving and restorative consumption emerged simultaneously. Thanks to joint promotion and stimulus of various consumption festivals, consumption vouchers, shopping subsidies, and livestreaming sales, offline consumption has rapidly resumed, and new online consumption has soared.
  Boosting economic resumption by reinvigorating consumption power depends greatly on how much money consumers have in their pockets and their confidence in the future. However, the epidemic has dragged lifestyles into a new normal, and the concepts and trends of modern consumer society are being reconstructed by the epidemic situation.
