With the passage of time, this prosperous scene was gradually submerged in the historical changes, and it was not until the unearthing of the Hanging Spring Han Jian in the 90s of the 20th century that it was reproduced. As a real-time archive and original record of the Silk Road between the two Han Dynasty, how will the Hanging Spring Han Jian tell the vivid past of the ancient Silk Road, and what historical mysteries will be revealed?
