　　Chen Cai, a research librarian at the Shanghai Museum, believes that intellectuals must take responsibility and work hard to be cultural disseminators, spreading Chinese culture from the study room to society and from home to overseas. This year, the Shanghai Museum will hold the "Top of the Pyramid: Ancient Egyptian Civilization Exhibition", which is expected to display 787 cultural relics from different periods of ancient Egyptian civilization, allowing the audience to fully appreciate the charm of ancient Egyptian civilization. Chen Cai believes that "inviting cultural relics in" can enhance cultural exchanges and mutual learning; at the same time, it is also necessary to promote cultural relics to "go out" so that Chinese cultural relics can become an entry point for the world to understand Chinese culture.
