Silk Road at Night Exhibition in Beijing Planetarium
For over 2000 years, the Silk Road has been connecting the east and west world since the Han Dynasty (207 BCE – 220 CE). Today, the "New Silk Road” turn over a new leaf. With its thousands of miles, the Silk Road is not only the important channel of economy, but also culture exchanges between the Eastern and Western civilizations.
The starry sky is the precious part of nature resources and important culture for human beings. All the people along the Silk Road share the same view of the starry sky for all the time, though the people in different background of culture may have various understandings.
The sky is a bridge between the people around the world, creating friendship and understanding. We are travelling together in a single spaceship named “earth” among the vast ocean of the universe. While there is only one earth in the universe, and mankind has only one homeland, so we must care for and cherish the earth in a community of shared future for mankind.
