World Premiere of the 'Quintet of Liangzhu Civilization' Animated Shorts on Liangzhu Day

HANGZHOU, China, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The annual "Hangzhou Liangzhu Day" returned on July 6, 2025! On July 7, a new animated short series, "The Quintet of Liangzhu Civilization", was released to audiences worldwide. Jointly presented by the Hangzhou Liangzhu Archaeological Site Administrative District Management Committee and the China Center for International Communication Development, and produced by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, this groundbreaking series brings the Liangzhu civilization to life through five distinct shorts, Pottery, Jade, Stone, Agriculture, and Fire, each spotlighting a key element of Liangzhu culture. Five artistic genres—watercolor, colored pencil, printmaking, ink wash, and paper-cutting—infuse each episode with a unique visual identity, telling the stories of Liangzhu's five-thousand-year legacy. It is a fusion of Chinese animation with archaeology, history, and culture, representing a pioneering model in civilizational narrative. The series celebrates the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, the sacred proof of China's continuous five-millennia civilization, by animating the richness and unique charm of Liangzhu culture. Based on robust historical sources, it not only reconstructs Liangzhu's glory and daily realities, but also portrays the nuanced journeys of characters and their interactions with the civilization's core elements, pottery, jade, stone, agriculture, and fire. The shorts unfold stories about how the young potter "Ye" and the jade worker "Yue" grew; how "Ben" found renewed purpose as a stonemason during his daily practice after his father's passing; and how the Shuyi couple lived a harmonious life. The series reaches its climax as all five protagonists unite within the Liangzhu City to confront a devastating granary fire, weaving together inventive, emotionally resonant tales. With a focus on the features of Liangzhu culture, this series creates a new production paradigm by integrating culture, art, and technology. It harnesses AI technologies during pre-production to refine character and scene design, ensuring a faithful reflection of Liangzhu's cultural heritage. The commitment to hand-drawn artistry, which pairs sophisticated brushwork with Chinese visual language, brings out the Liangzhu cultural flavor in everything from headgear to architecture. Each episode's visual identity is tailored to its specific narrative, breathing new life into these Liangzhu stories.

Park Bo Gum and BTS' V are real close friends as the two could be seen being almost attached at the hips during their stay in Paris. As a part of the Celine Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show, the two attended many parties with the singer waiting for his bestie on the main event day. Searching for him in the crowd, the GOOD BOY actor spotted him peeking down from the window, smiling at him and snapped away, creating the perfect Romeo and Juliet moment for onlookers. Park Bo Gum's and BTS' V's adorable friendship spreads over Paris Now, Park Bo Gum has shared his photos from Paris Fashion Week, revealing his sharp chequered blazer look alongside BTS' V, who donned a cropped grey jacket with red detailing on top. Moreover, he has also revealed moments of Kim Taehyung glancing at him from the top. A video shows him waving with glee plastered on his face, another testament to their close friendship. In the following photos, the two handsome men can be seen lightly smiling at the camera while the younger star hugs the hyung, and we can already hear the fans swooning over them. His Wonderland co-star Bae Suzy was also present at the event, giving very chic, chaebol daughter vibes in her black two-piece. The two posed for a selfie, in what can only be called a visual overload. Park Bo Gum also posed with Scarlet Heart star and Chinese actress Liu Shishi. Previously, Park Bo Gum and V were spotted leaving a welcome dinner for the latter following his military discharge.
