Shining examples of a golden age in China, some of the most important treasures of the Tang Dynasty,
00:08
are part of a newly opened exhibition in Paris.
00:11
Hundreds of works are on display from more than 30 Chinese cultural institutions.
00:16
This exhibition is the first in France to be really highlighting a dynasty of 300 years old,
00:22
and the interest of it is that we can bring together more than around 207 objects,
00:28
which come from 10 different provinces,
00:31
and to bring new highlights about how the Tang Dynasty worked,
00:35
progressed in time, and discuss about different kinds of artistic materials.
00:40
There was an explosion of artistic outputs in the Tang period,
00:44
which ruled in China from the year 618 to the year 907 Common Era.
00:49
Sculpture, painting, pottery and poetry all flourished during the dynasty.
00:54
The works here also evoke the culture of tea, the splendor of banquets, entertainment and women's fashion.
01:01
Now we're really looking at everyday life in a Tang capital,
01:06
which is in fact the biggest city in the world at this time.
01:09
So we talk about people, we talk about calligraphy, poetry, painting, dressing, different costumes, vessels,
01:18
and this gives us an idea of what it is to live within this China in full transition,
01:25
in the preparation of what we call modern time China.
01:28
The French and Chinese presidents wrote prefaces to the exhibition,
01:32
highlighting the importance of bilateral cultural exchanges,
01:35
with further joint exhibitions planned for next year.
01:39
France and China don't always see eye to eye on politics and trade,
01:43
but the two countries have deepened their cultural ties.
01:46
during this anniversary year.
