Origin Story
在古老的丝绸之路上，两座雄伟的城市遥遥相对，它们之间隔着茫茫沙漠和崇山峻岭。一座是繁华的敦煌，一座是神秘的楼兰。尽管地理位置相隔甚远，但它们都曾是丝绸之路上的重要枢纽，见证了东西方文化的交流与融合。敦煌的莫高窟壁画，和楼兰出土的精美文物，都以各自独特的方式，诉说着这段绵延千年的历史故事。它们遥遥相对，仿佛在无声地对话，共同守护着丝绸之路的古老传奇。
On the ancient Silk Road, two majestic cities stood opposite each other, separated by vast deserts and towering mountains. One was the prosperous Dunhuang, the other the mysterious Loulan. Although geographically distant, they were both important hubs on the Silk Road, witnessing the exchange and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. The murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the exquisite artifacts unearthed in Loulan both tell, in their own unique way, the story of this millennium-long history. They stand opposite each other, as if in silent conversation, together guarding the ancient legend of the Silk Road.
