School of International Cultural Exchange, Lanzhou University organized international students to visit the Gansu Bamboo Slips Museum on the afternoon of October 20, 2023. They explored the exhibited artifacts and attended a lecture by Professor Sun Zhanyu on the research of Han bamboo slips in Northwest China. Through this visit, they gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of traditional Chinese culture.
Gansu is known for its abundant bamboo slips. Since 1907, over 60,000 have been found, with Han bamboo slips being the most common, constituting over 80% of all Han bamboo slips discovered in China. It's often referred to as the "Han Bamboo Slips Hometown." The museum offers insight into traditional Chinese culture, making bamboo slip documents from research institutes accessible to the public.
Fei Ling from Mongolia said, "Through these exhibits, I can not only feel the wisdom and diligence of ancient Chinese people, but also appreciate their passion for spreading civilization and their pursuit of wisdom."
Hendrik Errenst from Germany said, "Visiting a museum is a great way to gain a good understanding of Chinese culture. We saw many ancient bamboo slips and calligraphy works, which is very impressive. Capturing and passing down information to future generations was very challenging in ancient times."
Wang Feifei from Ethiopia expressed, "I feel the Bamboo Slips Museum is exceptional. Through the combination of sound, light, electricity, and scenes, it presents the characters and events described in the bamboo slips more directly, allowing the audience to engage in an immersive reading experience. It holds extremely high historical, scientific, and artistic value. Through it, one can gain insight into traditional Chinese culture."
