China Opens CPC Museum
The Museum of the Communist Party of China （CPC） has opened in Beijing， the National Cultural Heritage Administration （NCHA） said in a statement on May 19.
The new museum hosts an exhibition on the history of the CPC， one of the events held in museums across China to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party， according to an NCHA press release.
The memorial of the first National Congress of the CPC in Shanghai also opened a new exhibition hall to visitors， said Gu Yucai， vice director of the NCHA， at a press conference in Beijing.
The NCHA has recommended 109 high-quality exhibitions across the country， Gu said.
To mark the CPC centenary， educational activities based on revolutionary cultural relics have been carried out and online Party history courses have been developed to help young people learn about Party history in an engaging way.
“We will also form a team to discover the stories behind the revolutionary cultural relics and share them with young people，” said Zeng Rui， head of the juvenile division of the Communist Youth League Central Committee.
Over 1，000 Relics Unearthed at the Sanxingdui Ruins
Archeologists have unearthed more than 1，000 cultural relics of significance at the six new sacrificial pits of the legendary Sanxingdui Ruins site in southwest China.
The excavation of No.3 to No.8 sacrificial pits， which began in the second half of last year， is progressing smoothly， said Tang Fei， chief of the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute.
More than 100 pieces of mainly bronze and ivory relics have been excavated in Pit No.3. Among the bronze wares， a bronze figure with a square altar-shaped bronze ware overhead and hands held up has never been seen before. Jade and stone tools and gold and seashells were also found in the pit.
Pit No.4 has a large number of relics. So far， archeologists have unearthed 534 pieces， including ivories， gold， jade， stone， bronze， potteries， bones， textiles， and lacquer wares. From the pit， residues of silk were unearthed for the first time at Sanxingdui. Archeologists also found plants， such as bamboo.
In Pit No.5， tiny artifacts were discovered， such as various fragments and beads. There are many round perforated gold pieces buried in this pit， which are probably decorative accessories for articles of clothing. So far， 146 pieces of relics have been unearthed， including gold masks and bird-shaped gold ornaments. A well-preserved wooden box with cinnabar coated on the inside was found in Pit No.6， which was the first of its kind at Sanxingdui.
From Pit No.7， which has just been excavated to the relic layer， ten ivories have been exposed.
In Pit No.8， experts found bronze wares， jade， gold foils， and stone tools. Larger bronze wares were mostly broken consciously， and the fragments were mainly from bronze trees. Many gold foils were found scattered in the ashes， some of which were identified as golden leaves. Pieces of textiles that were not completely burned were also found on some bronze fragments.
The Sanxingdui Ruins have been dubbed one of the greatest archeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer while digging a ditch in the 1920s.
World’s Only Captive Brown Panda Meets the Public in Shaanxi
The world’s only captive brown giant panda， nicknamed “Qi Zai，” met the public for the first time on May 28， during the trial operation of a science park in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.
Covering an area of over 28 hectares， the science park is located in Zhouzhi County at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. It aims to protect and popularize four rare animal species of the mountains， namely giant panda， crested ibis， golden monkey， and takin.
The world’s first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains. All recorded photographs of wild brown pandas were taken in the area.
The Qinling giant panda is a subspecies of the giant panda first recognized in 2005. It has a smaller and rounder skull， shorter snout， and less fur than the more familiar Sichuan subspecies.
According to panda experts， brown pandas could be the result of genetic mutations or atavism. Further study is needed on the topic.
