Abstract:

 

Turkish people often say, "the people of China and Turkey were neighbors 2000 years ago." The Chinese culture has a long history and is profound; Turkey has a hong history and is located between Asia and Europe. Turkey is known as the cradle of civilization; its ancient culture is brilliant and is the essence of multi-culture in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The cultural and artistic exchanges between China and Turkey have a long history. In a long period of history, they have influenced and connected each other, formed and left us exremely rich cultural and exchange resources. Since China proposed the "The Belt and Road" Initiative in 2013, Turkey and China have further exaggerated political, economic cooperation and cultural exchanges. This article focuses on the opportunities, basic scope and achievements of cultural exchanges between the two countries' peoples in the context of the "The Belt and Road" Initiative.
