Apr 8, 2026
Why exactly is the Yellow River known as China’s “Mother River”? Join us on a journey through time with CGTN’s “Song of the Yellow River” to see how this great river has shaped more than half of China’s 5,000-year history - and continues to inspire the nation today.
A city for whom the Yellow River has meant both life and death, whose Golden Age is captured in a classic painting, now being imbued with new vitality thanks to an art-form both age-old and innovative! Watch history come alive as Wang Suhua recreates a Song Dynasty masterpiece using silk threads so thin and fine they almost boggle the mind.
