Xi'an city wall's Tang Dynasty history talks draw summer crowds

Among the regular speakers, Li Langtao, former deputy curator of the Zhaoling Museum in Xianyang, Shaanxi, has used projected murals on the arrow tower wall to explain the rank-related codes behind silk shawls worn by ladies of the Tang court. History vlogger Yang Wenjin has drawn laughter with lively Q&A sessions about what Tang people ate, wore, and how they spent a typical day. Meanwhile, intangible heritage inheritor Wang Haitao has set up a shadow puppet stage inside the barbican, bringing episodes from Journey to the West to life.
