In the 19th century, Paris witnessed unparalleled prosperity in literature, painting, and music. This exhibition, themed around Parisian life from the late 18th century to the early 21st century, adopts a timeline-based narrative approach. Over 40 manuscripts and letters by cultural and artistic luminaries such as Romain Rolland, Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, Balzac, Liszt, and Claude Monet are on display for close viewing. All these precious items were lent by Hehe High Jewelry. Each page of these manuscripts and letters, bearing invaluable texts, documents history and reflects the evolution of modern civilization, profoundly influencing the cultural development of both the East and the West.

Held alongside the Paris Olympics during the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations, this exhibition carries special significance. The Paris Olympics, a global sports festival, also serves as a vital platform for cultural exchange and collision among different countries and regions. The Temple of Earth represents China’s traditional cosmology and carries the rich historical heritage of Chinese civilization. It was the site for royal earth deity sacrifices during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its elegant and simple architectural style, with solemn red walls shining alongside yellow glazed tiles, reflects the grandeur of imperial aesthetics. During the exhibition, the "Ascending Dragon" and "National Grace" high jewelry collections were also displayed. Using modern Eastern high-jewelry as a guide, they explored the depth and richness of classical Chinese culture and aesthetics. In the royal-style exhibition space, audiences could experience the dialogue between Eastern and Western aesthetics across time and enjoy the diverse charm of cultural inheritance and innovation.
