Embark on a journey through time at the Gansu Provincial Museum.

Stepping into the Gansu Provincial Museum is like embarking on a journey through millennia. The Silk Road Civilization exhibition hall on the first floor is a treasure trove of history. As you stroll along the exhibition route, you can almost hear the faint ringing of camel bells and see the grand spectacle of the Silk Road stretching for thousands of miles. Exquisite silks, gorgeous murals, and every single artifact tells the legend of cultural exchange between East and West. The Wei and Jin tomb mural bricks, with their simple strokes, depict the daily life of people at that time: farming, herding, feasting. These vivid scenes bring life from thousands of years ago right before your eyes. Then, in the painted pottery exhibition hall, each piece of uniquely shaped painted pottery is a crystallization of the wisdom of ancient ancestors. They have unique textures and colors, from simple geometric patterns to complex animal shapes, all showcasing the aesthetics and skills of the time. Standing in front of these artifacts, I can't help but sigh. Time may blur the contours of history, but these precious artifacts allow us to touch the past and feel the profound cultural heritage of this land. The Gansu Provincial Museum is a recorder of history and an inheritor of civilization. Every visit brings new shocks and emotions.
