1月5日起逢周日21:10，中國首部歷史體驗式紀錄片《十三行》將登陸廣東衛視以及優酷等視頻直播平臺。
"The Thirteen Hongs", China's first reality experiential history documentary, started airing on Guangdong Satellite TV, Macao Cable TV, video hosting service Youku and other streaming service platforms every Sunday from January 5,2020.
該片以廣州十三行歷史為藍本，以「真人體驗」的方式，參考史實進行情景再現，用創新性的手法，追尋「一口通商」時期，廣州十三行的對外貿易足跡，深度探尋十三行對今天的中西經濟、文化、藝術等方面所起的重要歷史意義和影響。
With seven episodes, each lasting 50 minutes, "The Thirteen Hongs" is a 4K ultra high definition documentary series based on the history of Guangdong's Thirteen Hongs.
康熙五十九年（1720年），為了壟斷對外貿易，廣州眾商行從自身利益出發，共同聯合組織起來，成立一個行會團體，即所謂的"公行"，並於訂下行規十三條。這個「公行」，就是十三行的由來。後來「成行成市」的行商比較著名的有十三家。
It traces the relics of the trading posts in Guangzhou under the Canton System which was known in Chinese as the」一口通商」, a policy issued in 1757 by the Chinese emperor to ban ports except Canton from foreign trade, as a response to a perceived political and commercial threat from abroad.
其實，「十三」並非定數，鹽商、鐵商、米商、糖商、絲綢商、陶瓷商、菸草商、典當商、布商、藥商各種買賣都聚集在這裡。同時，海外列強美、英、法、荷、瑞等國的商館也聚集在這裡。
Also, the documentary series probes into the historical significance and influence of the hongs, or factories, to today's economy, culture, art and many other aspects.
1757年，「一口通商」政策頒布，清朝的對外貿易便鎖定在廣州十三行。
十三行口岸，位於珠江邊上，洋船聚集，幾乎所有亞洲、歐洲、美洲的主要國家和地區都與十三行發生過直接的貿易關係。
Over the hundred years during the 18th and 19th centuries, less than 100 merchants were appointed by the imperial court to manage tens of trading firms engaging in trade with foreign countries in Guangzhou, the only port in the country opened to the outside world at that time.
這裡擁有通往歐洲、拉美、南亞、東洋和大洋洲的環球貿易航線，是清政府閉關政策下唯一倖存的海上絲綢之路。但後來在第二次鴉片戰爭期間，十三行在大火中被毀。
The Thirteen Hongs was a neighbourhood along the Pearl River in southwestern Guangzhou (Canton) in the Qing Empire from 1684 to 1856 AD around modern day Xiguan, in Guanzhou's Liwan district. These warehouses and stores were the principal and sole legal sites of most Western trade with China from 1757 to 1842.
該紀錄片《十三行》共7集，每集50分鐘，以4K超高清標準製作，歷經3年籌備，近2年拍攝，涵蓋三大洲的9個國家及地區的30餘座城市、80餘個中外人物故事。
《十三行》將深度的人物紀實段落與幽默的二次元動畫完美結合，形象代言吉祥物「貓十三」將帶領大家一起述說十三行的故事。
The factories were destroyed by fires in 1822, in 1841 amid the First Opium War, and in 1856 at the onset of the Second Opium War. The factories' importance diminished, following the opening of the treaty ports and the end of the Canton System under the terms of the 1842 Anglo-Chinese Treaty of Nanking.
與以往的紀錄片不同，該紀錄片不講生僻的歷史典故，而是在全球尋覓當下有趣好玩的奇人奇事。
如全球徵婚的土豪老爵士，73歲的班傑明爵士家族祖上是東印度公司的後代，他的祖先當年在廣州發家致富家產無數，而今他在全球徵婚，苦於無人繼承。
還比如酷愛撿漏的收藏家，而今竟然藏品堆滿幾大倉庫，乾脆申請了個國家3A級旅遊區，以藏品繼續致富……
此外，該片採取「真人體驗式」方法，參考兩百年前歷史記載的實景，摒棄傳統歷史題材紀錄片的再現方式，邀請當今有較高知名度的年輕人進行實景體驗開啟全新的歷史體驗式紀錄片模式。
After the Second Opium War, the factories were not rebuilt at their former site south of Guangzhou's old walled city but moved, first to Henan Island across the Pearl River and then to Shamian Island south of Guangzhou's western suburbs. Their former site is now part of Guangzhou Cultural Park.
如蔡徐坤跨界參與「白銀洗街」體驗，通過教小朋友一起計算後搬運3噸白蠟，用不到當年3%體積的白蠟代替白銀，然後付之一炬，讓孩子和觀眾們對「行商白銀淌街兩裡」的情景有了更真實的觸感。
Adopting the reality experiential method, the series referred to the scenes mentioned in the historical records two centuries before.
The work abandons the traditional re-enactment measure widely used by historical documentaries and creates a novel model for its kind by inviting young celebrities to interpret the history with personal experience.
紀錄片更把帥哥極限運動員和美女明星拉上漁排，體驗兩百多年前，歐洲人漂洋過海到廣東十三行做生意，經歷六到七個月漫長的水上生活。
這些刺激帶感的體驗環節，能讓觀眾身臨其境，感受並理解十三行當年盛況對當時世界最真實的誘惑。
