As the eastern starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, China witnessed a wide range of maritime trade exchanges. Ancient Chinese people reached out to the world by sea from different harbors and began increasingly frequent economic and cultural communications with people in other countries. Among the port cities in China, Guangzhou stands out as the only one thriving for over two thousand years.
中国，作为古代海上丝绸之路的东方起点，见证了大规模的海上贸易往来。古代先民从各个港口出发，与各国开展了日益频繁的经济与文化交流。广州这座千年不坠的繁荣贸易口岸，更是成为“海丝”重镇。
Recently, the Joint Exhibition of the Maritime Silk Road (Chinese Section) Relics, entitled Sailing the Seas, kicked off in the newly-constituted Nanyue King Museum in Guangzhou. It displays 383 pieces of selected relics housed in 31 cultural organizations from cities like Guangzhou, Nanjing and Ningbo.
日前，“四海通达——海上丝绸之路（中国段）文物联展”在广州南越王博物院开幕。该展览由海丝保护和联合申遗城市联盟、中国文化遗产研究院、中国博物馆协会主办，共展出来自广州、南京、宁波等31家文物收藏单位的383件文物精品，为历年来参展城市最多、文物覆盖范围最广的“海丝”主题联展。
Divided into five parts, the exhibition presents the splendid history of the far-stretching ancient Maritime Silk Road which can be traced back thousands of years.
展览分“港通四海”“货达天下”“异宝西来”“海事千年”和“交流互鉴”五个部分，力图呈现古代海上丝绸之路“绵亘万里、延续千年”的宏阔历史图景。

The exhibition, which will last until Jan 10, 2022, offers visitors a fresh experience with the new Nanyue King Museum and a stereoscopic perspective into the history of the Maritime Silk Road.
该展览将持续至2022年1月10日，是南越王博物院成立后的首个大展，展现了融合后的新气象和新征程，也为观众提供了一个以立体视角了解“海丝”历史的机会。
