活動說明
Evidence from recently excavated elite tombs at Majiayuan, southeast Gansu province, reveal that foreign cultures had a greater impact on Chinese culture than previously thought. Among the finds from these tombs are chariots, which have decorative elements that closely relate to both a royal chariot of the Achaemenid Empire and textiles from the Altai region of southern Siberia, suggesting contact between the elites of these regions. Later wheeled vehicles and architectural elements from the Shaanxi province suggest that these exchanges continued well into the Qin dynasty.
