Luoyang Museum | "A Cup of White Jade Wine" - Experience the Historical Glory of the Ancient Capital

Luoyang Museum has seven permanent exhibition halls, housing more than 20,000 precious cultural relics unearthed in the Luoyang area, including bronzes, jades, Han and Tang pottery figurines, Tang Sancai, Song porcelain, and Ming and Qing paintings and calligraphy from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties. These relics have distinct regional characteristics and high artistic value, closely related to the historical status of Luoyang as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. Among them, the most unforgettable art treasure is the museum's treasure - the white jade cup from the Cao Wei period. It is made from a whole piece of Hetian mutton-fat jade. Li Bai's poem "A cup of white jade wine, green willows in March" evokes endless imagination. Is the white jade cup in his poem like the one in front of us - pure white and warm in color, delicate and smooth in texture, with simple and smooth lines? Its design seems simple and rustic, but it requires superb jade carving skills. It is hard to imagine that it was born 1,700 years ago! In addition, the Warring States period's bronze ding with gold and silver inlay, the Eastern Han period's gilded bronze feathered man, the Shang dynasty's bronze fang lei, the Tang dynasty's Sancai figurines, painted pottery hundred-flower lamps, and the charming and spiritual Northern Wei period's clay sculpture Buddha face fragments, among other exhibits, are all impressive and breathtaking! Wearing Hanfu to visit the exhibition is also a highlight of Luoyang Museum. Being in the museum is like "traveling" back to the Eastern Capital, unforgettable for a lifetime...
