China and Egypt are both ancient civilizations of the world. Their development paths not only reveal many commonalities but also display unique cultural colors. To promote cross-civilizational exchange and mutual learning, we have launched the 'Gifts of the Nile: Ancient Egyptian Artifacts and Digital Art Experience Exhibition.' The exhibition carefully selects 206 precious artifacts/sets and is organized around five major chapters: 'The Land of the Gods,' 'Kings and Rule,' 'Writing and Communication,' 'Life and Beauty,' and 'The Journey of Life,' systematically presenting the splendid aspects of ancient world civilizations. At the same time, by utilizing rich digital presentations and the creations of contemporary young artists, the exhibition builds a multidimensional dialogue between China and Egypt, ancient and modern times, and physical artifacts and digital media.
