Over 400 years ago, a chili seed drifted from the Americas to China. Today, a Chinese archaeologist and an American sinologist learned the same lesson by a Pingxiang stove—civilizations don't grow in isolation. They blend, over smoke and fire. 四百多年前，一粒辣椒种子从美洲漂到中国。四百多年后，一位中国考古学家和一位美国汉学家在萍乡灶台边读懂了同一个道理——文明从不在孤岛上生长，而是在烟火中相融。 #CulturalExchange# #ChiliPepper# #Food# #CrossCultural# #China# #USA# #Spicy# #Jiangxi# #Pingxiang# #JMG#

30 years ago this week, @remhq's “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?” made history by becoming the first song to debut at No. 1 on the #AlternativeAirplay# chart (then called Modern Rock Tracks). #BBChartRewind# 📈🤘 Only two other songs in the chart’s 36-year history have debuted at No. 1: @ChiliPeppers' “Dani California” in 2006 and @linkinpark's “What I’ve Done” in 2007. The following month, the band’s ‘Monster’ debuted at No. 1 on the #Billboard200#, becoming the group’s second No. 1 album after ‘Out of Time’ in 1991. Take a look at the top 10 when “Kenneth” hit No. 1, and swipe to see the full chart.

Things are heating up in Chentai Village, Wuhe County, east China's Anhui Province, as chili pepper harvest and processing get into full swing. The fresh peppers are bound for markets including Beijing and Shanghai.
