I am most fond of a certain elegance, the figures of the Six Dynasties and the poetry of the late Tang

——Six Dynasties Museum 🏯 Historically, the dynasties of Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen successively established their capitals in Nanjing. During this period, China was in a state of great turmoil, with the north and south divided. Nanjing leapt to prominence as the political, economic, and cultural center of southern China, turning a new page in Chinese history. 🧩 The Six Dynasties were at a critical stage of inheriting the past and ushering in the future. They carried on the traditional essence of the unified Han dynasties, allowing the cultural heritage of the Central Plains to be fully extended and developed under new geographical and historical conditions, laying the foundation for the high prosperity of the Tang dynasty's golden age. The art of the Six Dynasties, which emerged under this specific time and space, aimed to confront life and flaunt individuality, breaking free from the ideological constraints of the Han dynasty's exclusive reverence for Confucianism, and exhibited a free, unrestrained, and vivid style. 📍 Address: No. 302, Changjiang Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province 🈺 Opening hours: 9:00-17:30 🎫 Tickets: Free admission
