The 19th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair is being held in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, from June 7 to 11. The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region has taken an active part in this year's cultural fair, showcasing its various treasures.
Local museums and institutes of archaeological research contributed replicas and images of cultural relics to the expo, such as the armband embroidered with the words "Five stars rise in the East, indicating victory for China" and the murals of Kuqa (known as Qiuci in ancient times). They narrate the past and present stories of China's national treasures.
Six masterpieces of jade carving are making their debut at the expo, and four excellent intangible cultural heritage embroidery projects are on display to showcase the colorful ethnic culture of Xinjiang.
