Three such avenues have been found by the team, and they form the main part of the road network in the northern area of ancient Xianyang, she added. In 2018, the archaeological team found the main road in ancient Xianyang, with Xu naming it Empire Avenue. "They are all perfect artworks in our eyes. I see the wisdom of ancient people here. Finding these objects from ancient people's lives is very interesting and much more fun than unearthing tombs." At the start of an archaeological project, the excavation team works day and night in the field and is usually stationed in villages near sites. Xu believes that imagination plays a key role in archaeological work, which centers on reconstructing the lives of ancient people, their births and deaths. “In Chinese culture, jade represents integrity, while gold represents wealth. Chinese jade culture was also introduced to the world through the Olympic emblem “China seal” and the Olympic medals inlaid with jade. In 1983, when the technical school affiliated to the Beijing Jade Factory was recruiting students, he decided to try his luck even though he knew nothing about jade carving at the time. During the process, there is a paramount rule, which is to match the artwork with the appropriate tools since the texture of jade differs from piece to piece. Inheritor of Wire Inlay Thangka preserves craft in Qinghai "What is interesting is that the past 60 years of archaeological work have failed to unearth the city walls of ancient Xianyang," Zhang said. The ancient city was home to palaces, royal storehouses, residential quarters, burial areas and workshops. He hopes that more young people could learn the skills so that this ancient craft will continue to flourish for many years to come. As an inheritor of Beijing jade carving, Zhang Tiecheng has incorporated new notions of aestheticism into the making of this traditional craft. Zhang Tiecheng is a third-generation inheritor of the Beijing jade carving craft. In 2010, he was invited to restore the interior jade decoration of the Qianlong Garden at the Palace Museum. We match white jade with gold, light greenish jade with silver, and grey jade with bronze to make the medals a perfect combination of integrity and honor. Years of hard work eventually bore fruit and he is now a master of this craft. From this point, the imperial jade carving craft took off. It used to be an imperial craft, since jade was initially owned, for the most part, by the royal family and nobility, and only a small amount was available among the general public. Beijing jade carving is a popular craft in Beijing. Among all kinds of sophisticated jade carving skills in China, the Beijing jade carving craft is world famous for its magnificence and use of royal elements. The Giant Jade Great Wall is officially opened to the public in Xiuyan, Liaoning Province Standing on the platform just over 11 meters above the No 6 palace site, Zhang pointed to a straight asphalt road. However, as more buildings have been built along the lines, archaeological work has been impeded to a certain extent. In September 2006, work on constructing subway lines began throughout Xi'an, and at the end of last year, the city had eight such routes in operation. Professor Long Ruijun, director of the International Centre for Tibetan Plateau Ecosystem Management of Lanzhou University in northwest China's Gansu province, is one of those dedicated to introducing new technologies to Pakistan and other countries along the BRI. As part of the Bam-e-Dunya network, China has been active in promoting international sci-tech cooperation in the region. Home to diverse biological resources and rich cultural traditions, it is the gateway to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, one of the projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Ye Xingsheng and his innovative thangka “Colors of Mt. Qomolangma” According to Tong Shaoqiang, vice president of the Chinese Jade Culture Research Association and director of the Liaoning Yutong Jade Culture Museum and the Liaoning Xiuyan Manchu Museum, the exhibition hall collects more than 100 pieces of jade carvings. It represents the highest level of jade carving technique in China. Visitors from all over the country witnessed the magnificence of the giant jade carving "the Great Wall", which is known as a "treasure passed down from generation to generation" and the colorful atlas of the jade carving that shows the great unity of the Chinese nation. During his work, Zhang felt sad that the once booming craft was dying. Researchers from the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology have been working on the ruins of Xianyang, the dynastic capital, since 2014. The area, which is covered with loess soil, witnessed the glory days of the Qin Dynasty, the first unified state in Chinese history, and includes the cornerstones and foundations of ancient buildings. As digging continued, the site was found to be that of a palace where the emperor handled routine affairs and met officials from across the country. Xi visited Fudao, a 19-km-long pedestrian walkway, the historical and cultural block of Sanfangqixiang (Three Lanes and Seven Alleys) and RICOM, an optical lens company. "Through this exhibition, we provide a chance to the Egyptian people to get closer to the Chinese fine art," he said, adding that "I believe that any relationship between two nations is based on mutual exchange, with the cultural exchange on top." Sahem said that it is important for cultures to meet at some point, adding that the cultural exchange between Egypt and China is beneficial for both peoples. Visitors can appreciate the exquisite jade carvings and fully feel the jade culture. It is of great significance in promoting the study of Xiuyan jade and Chinese jade culture and correctly guiding the development direction of Xiuyan jade culture industry.

Peers dealing with cultural relic protection often ask Zhang if there have been new discoveries at the excavation site. Zhang said they often chat with local villagers to gather information about possible archaeological sites. The team's work site changes over time, but no matter the weather, excavation work never stops. A hole dug by the shovel is known as a cavern, and Zhang said a skilled team member can drill hundreds of caverns a day. Time seems to pass more slowly at the station than elsewhere as the team members excavate and study relics.

According to archaeological findings, Chinese knew about and began to use jade during the Hongshan and Liangzhu cultures in the Neolithic Age, which is over 10,000 years ago. Seen as the essence of Heaven and Earth, jade was used to make sacrificial vessels for royal families in ancient dynasties. Apart from facilitating people in the HKPL to develop their economy, guests at the workshop also emphasized the importance of balancing economic development and ecological protection. At a media workshop on reporting environmental issues in HKPL on September 20, Long said that his team has been working closely with their counterparts to bring energy and agricultural solutions to Pakistan and Nepal. Chinese people love jade for the virtue it represents. He also sent oats and alfalfa seeds to the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council for local people to plant more productive crops. "For we archaeologists, this network is a framework for the city. As we cannot find the ancient city wall, there is no way of determining how large Xianyang was. We can only be guided by the road network." "The sites of ruins are buried 1.5 meters to 1.8 meters below ground, and tombs and cultural relics have often been uncovered during construction and subway engineering projects in Xi'an. About 700 meters north of the archaeological work station lies the No 1 palace site of Xianyang city. After seven years of archaeological exploration led by Xu, the team of eight found that there were probably 47 large buildings in ancient Xianyang. At the archaeological work station in the ruins, a black-and-white satellite photo dotted with small flags of various colors hangs on a wall. Archaeologists started exploring the ruins of Qin Dynasty palaces in the 1950s in an initial push that continued until the 1980s. Egypt's capital Cairo embraces a seven-day Chinese fine art exhibition that is meant to promote mutual cultural ties between the two nations. These seven development zones have a good foundation for cooperation with partners in Japan and Korea and are home to full-fledged supply and industrial chains in real economy and S&T innovation. They also joined in the activities to exchange views on the conservation of mountain biodiversity, climate change, air pollution, green agricultural development and South-South cooperation.

Zhang, who long yearned to work on archaeological excavations, became a member of Xu's team after graduating from Northwest University in Xi'an. Archaeologists often use a Luoyang shovel, an ancient instrument that helps them identify soil structure and determine whether ruins lie beneath the surface. The team members have enjoyed lighter moments while excavating the site and working with cultural relics. However, he said few Chinese art works exhibitions were held in Egypt as the two countries focused more on musical and cultural domains. Through such cultural moves, both countries want to boost friendly ties under the background of the Belt and Road Initiative which certainly promotes deeper understanding of each other and wake up the ancient civilization in the new era. After upgrading the relations between China and Egypt to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014, cultural exchange has been at its peak as artists, cultural and musical delegations have paid frequent visits. They are likely to be able to keep in good condition for the future climate change and become the shelters for the snow leopard to combat climate change and survive. According to these historical changes, the researcher, by computer model, discovered that three habitat areas of the snow leopard could maintain stability facing climate change in the past. The research indicates that the habitat areas of snow leopards has experienced remarkably expansion, reduction as well as fragmentation during different phases of climate change. The study on how to cope with the challenges brought by climate change is of highly necessity for protecting the local nature environment as well as the snow leopard and other species that rely on it for survival, states the researcher at UCB. A native of Xi'an, Zhang often drives for an hour from the city's downtown area to the station, where he stays for about a week. Team members on the Xianyang dig sleep and eat at the archaeological station, which is located in Niuyang village, about 20 km from the centers of modern-day Xi'an and Xianyang. "We can see the huge scale of the palace and gain a sense of just how luxurious it was," she said. "It took us two years to find the area of ancient Xianyang where we are now working," Zhang said. Artworks of this craft collected in the Palace Museum of Beijing all embody the noble and elegant temperament of the capital city.Beijing jade carving is a popular craft in Beijing.According to archaeological findings, Chinese knew about and began to use jade during the Hongshan and Liangzhu cultures in the Neolithic Age, which is over 10,000 years ago.As part of the Bam-e-Dunya network, China has been active in promoting international sci-tech cooperation in the region.However, he said few Chinese art works exhibitions were held in Egypt as the two countries focused more on musical and cultural domains.More human activity in the region has brought problems such as loss of biodiversity, climate change, and rapid land use change, so transboundary cooperation needs to be strengthened for the development of a healthy and resilient HKPL.We match white jade with gold, light greenish jade with silver, and grey jade with bronze to make the medals a perfect combination of integrity and honor.

Liu Guoxiang, general creative planner of the giant jade carving, vice president of the Chinese Jade Culture Research Association, and researcher of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stressed that the giant jade carving on display integrates the jade culture and the Great Wall. A corner of the jade carving “The Great Wall”, the background is the national unity jade carving atlas (photo by Wang Le) And it also embodies the integration and development of China's long-standing jade culture and the Great Wall culture. Based on the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, the giant jade carving took a team of 35 jade carving technicians 14 months to complete. “As athletes travel all over the world, Chinese culture conveyed by jade has also spread to where the medals go.” Ye Xingsheng and his innovative thangka “Colors of Mt. Qomolangma” Royal family and nobles wore jade jewelry and regarded it as a symbol of status. A popular proverb says, “For a man of true nobility, it’s better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole tile.” It means that a man would rather die in glory than live in dishonor. More human activity in the region has brought problems such as loss of biodiversity, climate change, and rapid land use change, so transboundary cooperation needs to be strengthened for the development of a healthy and resilient HKPL. Jade-carved animals and birds, in particular, are plump and robust, and utensils also look magnificent. Artifacts made by this craft are widely appreciated worldwide. And Chinese characters synonymous with jade are also a popular choice for children’s names. The phrase, “As modest and gentle as jade” is often used to describe a man with discreet gentility. "We are definitely not hunting for treasures when we excavate a tomb. My work as an archaeologist is aimed at giving the ancient people a voice. It is very important to understand them through the objects we find," she said. Xu said that in ancient times a huge elevated platform built on impacted earth was constructed at the site to house a three-story building. In 1994, UNESCO ranked relics from the palace first in terms of "scale and intactness" among those found in ancient buildings worldwide. "The city was long and narrow, with the longer side extending north to south. At present, we are focusing our work on the northern part along the river bank." The snow leopards, at the top of plateau food chain, play a decisive role in keeping balance of the local ecosystem. One of the effects of the climate change is that the habitat areas of snow leopard is decreasing and being fragmented day by day which threatens the survival of the species. The warming climate is changing the environment of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau which is one of the major reasons for the constant habitat loss of the endangered snow leopards. The Qinghai-Tibet plateau might be the refuge of snow leopard after 2070 for climate change according to the latest report. BEIJING -- The Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has announced its list of China's six most important archaeological discoveries of 2021. The Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has announced its list of China's six most important archaeological discoveries of 2021. It’s carved out of a piece of Xiuyan raw jade , which weighs 118 tons. For example, the snow leopard's habitat areas in the Himalayan Mountains and the Hengduan Mountains are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Although these three asylums are the fortunate for the snow leopard's survival, the research discovered that the situation of the other 65% of habitat areas is worrying.
