Known as the cradle of Chinese civilization, Henan boasts a long history and abundant cultural heritage. Oracle bone inscriptions, one of the earliest known Chinese scripts, were believed to be first unearthed in Xiaotun village, Anyang, today's Henan province, in the dwindling stages of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). The region was also the hometown of many ancient sages, such as Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Han Feizi.

At the launching ceremony, 12 museum directors and cultural heritage experts from Henan introduced the local representative cultural sites and historical relics, combined with various stunt performances, showcasing the profound and extensive Chinese culture.
