Ye City Archaeological Museum.

Visit the Ye City Archaeological Museum in Linzhang County, Handan City. It is a second-level museum and the first national museum with a special theme of Buddhist statues. It opened in 2016. The museum is designed to resemble the city walls and gate towers of the Han Dynasty. Most of the exhibits are Buddhist statues unearthed from the Beiwuzhuang Buddhist statue burial pit in 2012. Buddhism in Ye City began to flourish during the Later Zhao period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and continued through the Northern Wei Dynasty. It reached its peak in the mid-6th century during the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties, becoming the Buddhist cultural center of the north after Datong and Luoyang. The cultural relics are beautiful and show signs of restoration. Among these countless scars, one can see one historical detail after another. In these star-like fragments, one can see the footsteps of mankind moving forward in suffering. We come into the world crying, but we can go to eternity with a smile.
