“丝路明珠——‘一带一路’中的东方文化使者”。通过对茶艺、瓷器、丝绸制品的并置呈现，展示茶、瓷、丝绸作为“文化使者”，从古代丝绸之路的商贸往来，到当今“一带一路”的文化互通中所扮演的重要角色。

Here, you will find yourselves in a classical study surrounded by classical furniture, works of art, antique decorations and their classy entertainments such as enjoying scents, playing instruments and appreciating paintings.

“匠心传承——创新赋能传统技艺”。主要展示中国历史悠久的非遗技艺在当代社会中的活态传承、多元发展，展品包括来自广东广州、佛山的非遗及河北廊坊非遗，还有由传统文化衍生出的文创产品。
“Inheriting ingenuity – craftsmanship empowered by innovation”. For this area, the designer seeks to showcase how time-honored intangible heritages are carried forward in various ways and gain diversified development in modern China. Items on display come from Guangzhou, Foshan of Guangdong Province and Langfang of Hebei Province, as well as cultural and creative products inspired by traditional local culture.
Weaving tools from Ancient China
“萨杜——科威特传统编织技艺”。本次展览特别展示来自科威特的非物质文化遗产代表——传统萨杜编织，以及枣椰树的相关知识、技能、传统和习俗。“萨杜”是贝都因妇女所从事的装饰品编织技艺，被广泛应用于家具和骆驼、马匹等牲畜的装饰上。而枣椰树是世界上最古老的树种之一，是阿拉伯地区“沙漠面包”的来源，促进了阿拉伯文明、伊斯兰文明同欧洲文明、东方文明之间的沟通。随着时代的发展、社会生活的变迁，萨杜传统编织技艺和枣椰树，已从技艺本身演变为文化的载体，得到了当地的传承。
“Al Sadu - traditional weaving skills from Kuwait”. The exhibition specializes “Al Sadu” weaving, an iconic intangible cultural heritage from Kuwait, along with items about date palm tree (overall knowledge, skills, traditions and customs). “Al Sadu” is an ornamental weaving technique engaged by Bedouin women, and was widely used in furniture and decoration of camels, horses and other livestock. As one of the oldest species in the world, date palm tree bear fruits well-known as desert bread, which also boosts the communication among Arabic, Islamic, European and Eastern civilizations. As societies develop rapidly, Al Sadu and date palm tree planting have transformed from skills into cultural carriers that are carried forward from one generation to another.
