As 2025 draws to a close, people everywhere are taking a moment to reflect on the year's highs, lows, and moments of meaning. In the world of artificial intelligence, one of the most memorable highlights has been bringing history to life. Today, we kick off our special Year-End Culture Salona serendipitous reunion of the artifacts that stole our hearts this year. 🤖✨
Here's a quick tour of our all-star lineup:
- The Bronze Galloping Horse 🐎
Discovered in a Han Dynasty tomb in Wuwei on the Chinese mainland, this iconic steed looks like it's flying on the wind. Featured in our AI series 'When Relics Speak,' it embodies power, grace, and motion. - Danglu: The 2,000-Year-Old Horse Frontlet 🏺
Hailing from the Luoyang Museum in Henan Province on the Chinese mainland, this frontlet once adorned a noble horse. Fans couldn't believe its resemblance to 2025's hottest toy, Labubu! You saw it shine in our video 'Is That Labubu? Meet the 2,000-Year-Old Lookalike Taking the Internet by Storm!' - The Big-Eared General 🗿
Stationed among golden wheat fields near Gongyi in Henan Province on the Chinese mainland, this Song Dynasty stone guardian earned the nickname 'the wheat field watcher.' This year, he even held a chat with a Moai statue from Easter Island, Chile, in 'Trans-Pacific chat: Chile's Moai meets China's Big-Eared General.' - The Lucky Boy 🎉
Straight from Tianjin's Yangliuqing Woodblock New Year prints on the Chinese mainland, this chubby door guardian spread joy and cheer. He surprised us all by befriending a Persian cat in our fun video 'Tianjin makeover transforms Persian cat into New Year door guardian.'
Our old friends are back, the stage is set, and the camera is rolling. Stay tuned as we hand things over to our own Spencer Zhang—who's just one step away from madness after producing this year-end show. Let's see what unfolds next! 🎥✨
