prosperity of the Song dynasty and the thriving Yuanqu art form in the Yuan

Dynasty, while uncovering the true emotions of the characters.

The documentary elaborates the cultural context through a global vision to

create a Chinese prologue that's parallel to world history - Matteo Ricci, the

Italian missionary, bridged the cultural gap between China and the West after

he learned the Chinese language and culture; the seven voyages of Zheng He to

the West were brave explorations of the world by a Chinese adventurer; Xu

Guangqi, who translated Euclid's The Elements of Geometry with Ricci,

introduced the natural science system to China that more closely connected

China with the world.

Since ancient times, cultural exchange between China and the world was

frequently promoted and in dealing with different civilizations, China has

always emphasized studying, digesting, integrating and innovating, reflecting

China's passionate, friendly and peace-loving attitude. History shows that only

through communication and mutual learning can a civilization be full of life

and vitality. This documentary was produced with the principle of openness and

inclusiveness of different cultures and hopes to tell historical stories and

showcase Chinese culture through innovative storytelling techniques and an

emotional touch.
