Free happiness! Come to the Shanghai Museum to see how the ancients played with secondary creation of bronze artifacts

Girls! The new exhibition at the East Wing of the Shanghai Museum, "Blending Ancient and New: Retro and Innovation of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty Bronzes," completely overturned my understanding of bronze artifacts 🤯 It turns out that the ancients of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties were the true pioneers of "secondary creation"! 📍 Check-in recommendations: ➊ Instantly attracted by the elements of the Dasheng Bell at the entrance 🎵 The triple bell-shaped archway is super photogenic ➋ The Qianlong Gilded Double Phoenix Teapot stands side by side with its French high-quality replica sister, showing that Europeans also went crazy for Qianlong’s aesthetic 👯 ➌ The twin bronze gui vessels from the Ming Dynasty Kunshan County School reunite across space—one is a replica of the ancient design, the other has an added lid. The innovative design by Ming craftsmen is amazing ➍ You can experience the "auspicious incense burner with gold inlay" from Li Qingzhao’s poetry on site! The Luduan incense burner paired with wooden incense and smoke light effects creates a full sense of time travel ✨ Exhibition insights: These are not ordinary antique replicas! They are all redesigned using advanced techniques like gilding 🤖 Transforming 3,000-year-old bronze elements From ritual vessels in temples to elegant objects in study rooms Even the French have replicated our designs 1:1 Who says traditional Chinese style isn’t trendy? 🎁 Bonus: At the exit, the cultural and creative area has 28 sets of imaginative souvenirs Turning bronze elements into fridge magnets, bookmarks Easily bring the ancestors’ aesthetic home~ 📅 Exhibition period: 2025.11.12 - 2026.3.16 📍 Location: East Wing, Shanghai Museum 💵 Admission: Free! (No reservation needed) (Ps: Heard a kid say on site, "I saw this in Honor of Kings," couldn’t stop laughing) Shanghai exhibition visit
