Yungang's ancient wisdom inspires a new academic dialogue

Hang Kan, director of the Yungang Research Institute and a professor at Peking University's School of Archaeology and Museology, says the campus tour brings the wisdom embodied in grottoes to the universities while drawing on academic expertise to advance research on Yungang.

Ding Yao, a professor at Tianjin University and curator of the exhibition's Tianjin leg, says the collaboration with the Yungang Research Institute also reflects a shared social responsibility to carry forward China's cultural lineage.
