Dear friends and visitors of all ages:

When 5,464 mechanical modules with the melody of "Yellow River Boatman" set into New Year's silhouette, and when the morning light on the 80-meter cultural roll awakens the new year's prologue, we stand on the banks of the Yellow River in Jiuzhou to celebrate the first dawn with thousands of guardians.

This year, the Dahe civilization is reborn in heritage. With the glory of the basic display of “Changhe Wan Ancient Flows”, we will tell the story of historical artifacts – reading the dawn of civilization from the lines of Yang Shao Caitao, touching the shore fireworks from the ink stains of Ming and Qing contracts, seeing the heart of the rust of yellow tools.

Every harvest of this year is inseparable from your peers. It is curious in the eyes of young students, so that artifacts have temperature; it is the deep cultivation of scholar’s case that allows the vein to extend; it is the ingenuity of practitioners who bring “Angmi” fireworks into life; it is the hand-in-hand of colleagues along the Yellow River to make the Dahe story sing Kyushu.

We hope that when you step into this venue again, you can hear the tide of new year in mechanical waves and meet the warmth of the kiln scene. In each interaction, you will reach deeper resonance with Mother River.

In the new year, may we all be guardians, communicators and creators of the great river veins. Let the spirit of the Yellow River go forward forever in the long river.

Happy New Year to you all!
