The Yangcheng Evening News Group (羊城晚报报业集团), founded in Guangzhou in 1998, is a Guangdong provincial public institution and one of China’s earliest large press groups.

Its Lingnan Culture Large Model Laboratory (岭南文化大模型实验室) built the Lingnan culture model, a multimodal model for cultural knowledge, and on it a digital human of the Tang chancellor Zhang Jiuling (张九龄), meant to make historical figures something visitors can talk to. The group showed the Zhang Jiuling digital human, a voice-cloning app and a drawing-to-knowledge app at the 22nd China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair in May 2026. In August 2026 Zhang Jiuling opened an enamel exhibition at the Guangzhou Cultural Centre (广州市文化馆) as its AI host, as Southern Finance Network (南方财经网) and the Guangdong provincial history site reported.
