A Journey Like a Song | A Second Visit to the National Museum of China

| A second visit to the National Museum of China. 🌟 A journey like a song begins in Beijing, with the song "Train to Beijing" by the famous singer Zhao Lei, expressing his longing and pursuit of Beijing. The train departs from Hongqiao Railway Station and heads north to Beijing. The first stop is the popular National Museum of China. A second visit to the National Museum of China marks the beginning of a treasure-hunting journey. 🌟 The Ancient China Hall of the National Museum of China is worth a visit, displaying precious cultural relics such as the "Jade Dragon", "Houmuwu Ding", and "Sanxingdui Mask". 🌟 The Four-goat Square Zun is a bronze masterpiece, a bronze ritual vessel from the late Shang dynasty used for sacrificial offerings. The shoulders of the square zun are decorated with high-relief dragon patterns with snake bodies and claws. In the middle of each of the four sides of the zun, where two goats are adjacent, a dragon head with a pair of horns protrudes from the surface of the vessel. 🌟 The Shang Zilong Ding is a round bronze ding from the late Shang dynasty, named after the inscription "Zilong" cast near the rim of the inner wall of the vessel. It is the largest round bronze ding from the Shang dynasty discovered so far, and also the earliest known bronze vessel with the character "龙" (dragon). 🌟 The Painted Pottery Jar with Stork, Fish, and Stone Axe Design is a burial vessel from the early Neolithic period. It is red in color, with a straight-walled, flat-bottomed cylindrical shape, and has four symmetrical nose knobs below the rim. It is the earliest pottery painting discovered in China so far. 🌟 These are the treasures of the National Museum of China. Come and visit for free.
