Summary

Commemorative practices at the Peking Man Site (Zhoukoudian) serve as a powerful tool for shaping national identity through historical memory. The study reveals that sensory-visual engagement with archaeological heritage significantly enhances public understanding and academic value, bridging gaps between state strategies and societal needs. By analyzing Zhoukoudian’s projects, researchers demonstrate how such practices expand horizons for state-society interaction, informing future development while adapting to challenges. This approach underscores the site’s role as a dynamic resource for both education and identity formation.
