Guangzhou Museum of the Nanyue King of the Western Han Dynasty

The Tomb of the Nanyue King in Guangzhou is the Museum of the Nanyue King of the Western Han Dynasty. It is the most worth-seeing museum in Guangdong. The owner of the tomb is Zhao Mei, the second king of the Nanyue Kingdom in the early Western Han Dynasty. It is one of the five major archaeological discoveries in modern China. The museum itself has won six domestic and international architectural awards and was nominated for "Architecture Masterpieces of the 20th Century", and was rated as one of China's classic 20th century buildings. The cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of the King of Nanyue are of great value to the study of the history and culture of the early Western Han Dynasty, and many of them are precious. 1. The Silk Jade Clothes, also known as the "Jade Box", was the burial garment worn by the emperors and high-ranking nobles of the Han Dynasty after their death. The Han people were superstitious about jade and believed that the jade clothes could prevent the corpse from rotting. 2. The bronze tiger scepter with inlaid gold inscriptions is engraved with the five characters "王令命命车途" (The King's Order, the Order of the King), which is the certificate for executing the king's order. It is the only bronze tiger scepter with inlaid gold inscriptions found so far. 3. Lacquered wooden screen 4.
