Traveling through the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty: Exploring the Yinxu Museum in Anyang, Henan

#2024TravelReview When I stepped into the Yinxu Museum, I was overwhelmed with shock and amazement. After all the museums I've been to, this one really stands out. Yinxu Museum is a unique historical museum dedicated to the history of the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty was the first dynasty in Chinese history with written records, and oracle bone inscriptions were the pioneers of Chinese characters. Yin is a place name and the capital of the Shang Dynasty; Xu means ruins, which is the site of this abandoned capital. The three oracle bone inscriptions on the museum gate read "Tian Yi Shang", which means the grandeur of the capital of the Shang Dynasty. In terms of transportation, the Yinxu Museum is very conveniently located, right on the edge of Anyang City. The exhibition content mainly revolves around the rich cultural relics preserved underground from the Shang Dynasty, with highlights including bronze ware, oracle bones, chariot and horse pits, and Fu Hao's tomb. These exhibits will lead visitors to appreciate the splendid civilization and rich history of the Shang Dynasty. #YinxuMuseum #Henan #GoodPlacesForParents 📍The intersection of Textile Road and Shachang Road, Yindu District, Anyang City, Henan Province
