The Gansu Jiandu Museum in northwest China's Gansu Province on Sunday launched four online exhibitions related to the ancient Jiandu culture.
"Jiandu" are the bamboo and wooden slips on which ancient Chinese people wrote using ink and brushes before the invention of paper.
The exhibitions include high-resolution images of the museum's cultural artifacts, accompanied by detailed text and voice explanations to help audiences gain a deeper understanding of the items on display, said Xu Rui, the museum's deputy curator.
The digital exhibitions also include interactive experiences such as riddle challenges and Jiandu-making games, aiming to attract young visitors, Xu said.
The museum is China's only provincial-level museum focusing on bamboo and wooden slips. It has a collection of nearly 40,000 such slips dating back to the Qin Dynasty (221-207 B.C.) and Western Jin Dynasty (265-317), and it also houses more than 10,000 other artifacts, including paper, textiles, woodenware, lacquerware and ironware.
