This full-day international symposium, in conjunction with the exhibition “Gold from Dragon City: Masterpieces of Three Yan from Liaoning, 337-436,” provides an immersive environment to investigate Three Yan artifacts and discover the life of the once-dominated ancient nomad tribe Murong Xianbei, alongside prominent scholars in the field. Through various artifacts, from the shining golden headdress buyao, a signature craft adored by Murong Xianbei, to horse armory such as stirrup, a major equipment breakthrough that boosted cavalry development, the program reflects on the importance of ethnic integration and cultural exchanges that could propel civilization.
Hosted by Willow Weilan Hai, Senior Vice President of China Institute in America, Director, and Chief Curator of China Institute Gallery, with distinguished scholars Petya Andreeva, Annette Juliano, Hiromi Kinoshita, Judith Lerner, Tian Likun, Nancy Steinhardt, Jin Xu, among others.
Lecture includes complimentary admission to the exhibition.
