The Yellow River Seeking Roots Cultural Alliance was founded in Taiyuan, capital of North China's Shanxi province, on June 11.

The alliance was jointly established by 14 cultural institutions and museums in seven provinces, including Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, and seven academic committees of universities under the initiative of the Taiyuan bureau of cultural relics and the Jinci Museum in Taiyuan.
