The epidemic was threatening and the people were facing difficulties. At this time, a NetEase Open Course:the Silk Road Chang’an, was recommended to teachers and students of NPU by School of Marxism.

In this series of lectures, Professor Yang Bingyu would tell you the legend of the Silk Road with literary grace and academic words,including the changes of commerce, the hardships of traveling to the West, and the popularity of Hu Clothing, all of which showed the inclusiveness and openness of Silk Road Chang’an, as well as the adherence and inheritance of tradition in tolerance.

Culture is like a flowing river, which bypasses the luxuriant forests of each era, winding and spiraling into a deep underground root of national civilization.Looking up from the root of this ancient tree, the intertwined diversity of ancient and modern cultures, and the rich fragrance of advanced cultures around the world, have given Chinese culture a far-reaching tolerance and creative character.

Only the development of our culture is continuous can the lifeline of our country be endless.At a time when the Chinese nation is suffering, let us look back at the past of Chinese culture, and think about and plan for the future of our Chinese nation with a sense of social responsibility that “scholars must be strong and resolute”.
