No wonder the new Liangzhu Museum exhibition "For Descendants" is so well-received!

The "Jade Soul and National Spirit" series of exhibitions at the Liangzhu Museum, "For Descendants: A Collection of Han Dynasty Jade," is a feast of Han jade, no wonder it is so well-received! Immortality and exorcism are one of the most important cultural characteristics of the Han Dynasty. Immortals, feathered men, auspiciousness, exorcism, and talismans came into being. In life, people hoped to avoid misfortune and gain longevity, and in death, they hoped to be free from evil spirits and ascend to immortality. The patterns of Han Dynasty jade containers are mostly based on auspicious beasts and divine birds. The door knocker is mainly a beast head with a ring in its mouth, which is either placed on the door of a building, embedded on the outside of a coffin, decorated on the surface of an object, or worn on the waist of the tomb owner.
