for creative transformation and innovative development of fine traditional

Chinese culture in Changping District and help it build a world-famous Ming

Dynasty culture research, exchange and experience center, according to the

Publicity Department of Changping District.

The Ming Dynasty (1368 AD - 1644 AD) had its special glamour in Chinese

history. During the period, a wealth of results were achieved in economy,

culture, art, science and technology and other fields, making outstanding

contributions to the world's cultural progress. The Ming Dynasty Culture Forum

aims to dive into and carry forward the virtues of Ming Dynasty culture,

present its distinctive aspects through historical and cultural lens and add

new elements to modern life.

The Ming Dynasty Culture Forum 2023 brings together about 60 cultural

celebrities, well-known scholars and influencers to share their insights and

chart the course for the inheritance and high-quality development of Ming

Dynasty culture in the new era.

Combining both academic and non-academic components, the Ming Dynasty Culture

Forum 2023 targets specialists and the general public alike and highlights

popular and modern elements. The forum will also hold a series of activities

such as the Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture and Tourism Festival and the

"Bai Zi Yi" (100-family clothes for a baby's 100-day celebration) flash mob.

Digital technology will be employed to create immersive experiences to sell

cultural and creative products. All this is designed to help Changping District

make Ming Dynasty culture one of its cultural signatures, attract more tourists

and increase its visibility and influence.

The Ming Dynasty Culture Forum will continue to fully perform its functions for

pooling resources, driving development, pioneering innovation, facilitating

communication and exchange and providing service and support. It will work to

engage more people, interpret and showcase Ming Dynasty culture in more diverse

forms, help improve regional economic and cultural quality and efficiency and

make Ming Dynasty culture a great namecard of Changping District.
