  "Through these collections, everyone can understand China's history, the creativity of Chinese people, and strengthen the confidence and determination to realize the Chinese dream." Xu Wenrong said.

  In the early years, Xu Wenrong “moved” the collection of endangered ancient buildings to Hengdian and built the Ming and Qing Ancient Residence Expo City, which not only provided filming locations for the crew, but also became a favorite tourist destination for tourists.

This once controversial practice of protecting ancient buildings from other places is now recognized by more and more people.

  Today, Xu Wenrong has not stopped "collecting in", and at the same time thinking about how to "live" the collection resources to benefit more people.

  The trillion-level cultural and museum industry is regarded as a new growth driver for China's economic development.

Some experts believe that the development of the cultural and cultural industry can not only promote traditional Chinese culture, but also attract more jobs.

  In order to promote the development of the cultural and cultural industry, the China Hengdian Cultural Relics and Art Market, organized by Xu Wenrong, will open on November 13.

  "The establishment of the China Hengdian Cultural Relics and Art Market is to showcase the folk collection culture, stimulate the vitality of folk cultural relics and art collections, let the cultural relics and art tell the history of the development of Chinese civilization, and enhance cultural self-confidence and family and country feelings." Xu Wenrong said.

  From "collecting but not hiding" to preparing the market, this is the old man's tireless cultural aspirations, as well as his cultural self-confidence from the inside out and from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Wenrong believes that collection is the never-ending foundation of mankind, nation, and country, as well as the fundamental lifeline that continues its long history and culture.

The vigorous development of folk collection culture in Hengdian will help to inherit Chinese culture, and it will also help enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people of Hengdian and the whole country, and promote the development and prosperity of the cultural industry.

  "Today's cultural relics were once daily necessities of the ancients, and today's creations may become cultural relics in the future." To escape economic value, let cultural relics "live" and the market "flow", allowing more people to get closer to Chinese culture and understand Chinese history-this is Xu Wenrong's original intention and dream.
