“Exploring China Through Bamboo and Wooden Slips” is the first program of its kind to focus exclusively on these artifacts. It features innovative formats such as on-site visits, live-action dramas and interviews. Through the story of representative slips, the show explores the multifaceted value of these artifacts and highlights the depth and richness of Chinese civilization.
