Two millennia ago, the Silk Road connected the East and West, serving as a vital corridor for economic, trade, and cultural exchange. As a key node along this legendary route, Xinjiang played a long-standing and pivotal role in the Silk Road network.

Today, the exhibition "Echoes of the Silk Road" brings a curated selection of cultural relics from museums across Xinjiang to Minhang, Shanghai.

Featuring 110 precious artifacts, the exhibition presents a multidimensional view of ancient Xinjiang's unique position and splendid civilization along the Silk Road, spanning military administration, economic exchange, social life, and cultural beliefs.

Chen Long, Chief Recommender of Enjoy Minhang, shared after visiting the exhibition: "The expressions of the figures are incredibly vivid, especially their eyes, which leave a deep impression. I've been looking forward to this exhibition for a long time. Due to my filming schedule, I hadn't been able to visit earlier, so I'm really glad to finally experience it in person."

The exhibition systematically traces the historical development and cultural achievements of the Xinjiang section of the Silk Road, guiding visitors to revisit its glorious past.Among the highlights is an original first-class cultural relic a painted silk depiction of Fuxi and Nüwa—which vividly reflects the scene of Central Plains mythology and the aesthetics of the Western Regions.

Xu Di, Head of the Education and Publicity Department of Minhang Museum, explained that the artwork was unearthed from a joint burial tomb in the Astana region of Xinjiang and was originally fixed to the ceiling of the tomb chamber. In the painting, Nüwa appears on the left holding a compass, while Fuxi stands on the right holding a square—symbols representing the act of drawing circles and squares. Together, they embody ancient philosophical concepts such as "round Heaven and square Earth" and the idea that order and standards underpin the universe. Measuring nearly two meters in length, the artwork delivers a powerful visual and emotional impact when viewed up close.

The exhibition’s opening week coincides with the "Minhang–Zepu Cultural Exchange Week." In addition to the exhibition, visitors can explore a themed market that brings ancient scenes of East–West cultural exchange to life.

According to Xu Di,the market features more than 300 items of intangible cultural heritage and specialty products from Xinjiang, including traditional garments, Adras silk, and local agricultural goods, alongside cultural elements from Shanghai.Historically, Xinjiang has served as a crucial window and crossroads for exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations. Through the integration of exhibitions and market activities, the museum aims to present the spirit of cultural exchange embodied in Echoes of the Silk Road in a more engaging and accessible way.

Currently, the market has been updated to a Spring Flower Market. The exhibition "Echoes of the Silk Road" will remain open to the public free of charge untilMay 19. At Minhang Museum, visitors can still explore the legacy of the Silk Road through precious artifacts and historical narratives, and listen to the echoes of millennia-old civilizations.

兩千年前，絲綢之路連接?xùn)|西。東西方經(jīng)濟(jì)、貿(mào)易、文化在此交融。作為這條傳奇之路的重要段落，新疆發(fā)揮著核心樞紐作用。

如今，展覽“絲路回響”攜新疆多地博物館精品文物，跨越千里來到上海閔行。110件（套）珍貴文物，從軍政、經(jīng)貿(mào)、社會(huì)生活與文化信仰等方面，全方位展示古代新疆在絲綢之路上的獨(dú)特樞紐地位及其璀璨文明。

“悅享閔行”首席推薦官——陳龍?jiān)谟^展后表示：“展品的容貌和他的神態(tài)特別好，特別是眼神。今天這個(gè)展我已經(jīng)盼了很久了。因?yàn)槲易罱谂膽?，所以一直沒有時(shí)間來。正好趁著今天這次機(jī)會(huì)，自己也想來看一下、感受一下?！?/p>

展覽系統(tǒng)梳理絲綢之路新疆段的歷史脈絡(luò)與文明成果，帶領(lǐng)觀眾重溯絲路輝煌記憶。一級(jí)文物彩繪伏羲女媧絹畫原件驚艷亮相，盡顯中原神話與西域?qū)徝赖娜诤稀?/p>

閔行區(qū)博物館宣教部主任徐迪介紹，這幅伏羲女媧圖出土于新疆阿斯塔納地區(qū)的夫妻合葬墓，釘在墓頂。它左邊是女媧，右邊是伏羲。女媧手持規(guī)，伏羲手持矩。規(guī)是用來畫圓的，矩是用來畫方的。所以這就對(duì)應(yīng)了古人的“無(wú)規(guī)矩不成方圓”“天圓地方”的一種理念。本身的畫面非常大，兩米左右。所以站在伏羲女媧圖面前，視覺與精神上的震撼尤為強(qiáng)烈。

展覽首周正值“閔行?澤普文化交流周”，觀眾在展覽之余還能逛市集，感受多元文化交匯的生動(dòng)場(chǎng)景。

徐迪介紹，市集集中展示了300余件來自新疆的非遺項(xiàng)目及特色產(chǎn)品，包括傳統(tǒng)服飾、艾德萊斯綢、特色農(nóng)產(chǎn)品等，同時(shí)也融入了上海本地元素。新疆自古以來就是東西方文化交流的重要窗口與“十字路口”，通過市集與展覽的聯(lián)動(dòng)，希望以更具參與感的方式，呈現(xiàn)“絲路回響”所承載的文明交流與融合精神。

目前，市集已更新為新春花市。“絲路回響”展覽將免費(fèi)向公眾開放至5月19日。走進(jìn)閔行區(qū)博物館，觀眾依然可以在珍貴文物與歷史敘事中，重溯絲路文明的輝煌記憶，聆聽跨越千年的文明回響。
