Imagine unlocking a 3,000-year-old mystery through the power of stories 📜✨. Former Sanxingdui Museum director Xiao Xianjin is championing literature as the ultimate time machine, connecting today’s TikTok generation to China’s enigmatic Bronze Age civilization.
While archaeologists decode relics like the iconic golden masks 🎭, Xiao argues that "historical facts need heartbeats" to truly resonate. His solution? Transform dusty artifacts into page-turning narratives that make Ancient Shu’s creators feel as relatable as your favorite K-drama characters 📚💥.
This approach isn’t just about museums – it’s a cultural revolution. By blending rigorous research with creative storytelling, Sanxingdui’s cosmic bird motifs 🦅 and bronze trees 🌳 become metaphors for modern struggles and dreams. For global youth and diaspora communities, it’s a fresh way to engage with heritage that feels more Marvel Cinematic Universe than textbook timeline.
