From the Taosi Culture (2300 BCE) to the Qin and Han dynasties, it showcases the splendor of China's Bronze Age! The museum's treasure, the Jin Gong Pan, reveals an ancient marvel - when water is poured in, birds, fish, and turtles rotate 360°, a remarkable example of ancient technology. - 📸 Must-See Exhibitions & Historical Stories 1️⃣ "Chinese Civilization Imprints" Gallery ✨ The painted dragon plate from Taosi Culture (replica) is one of China's earliest dragon totems, witnessing "earliest China"!

The Zhou Dynasty "Prisoner-Guarded Carriage" features movable wheels, showcasing Jin craftsmen's incredible innovation. 3️⃣ "Craftsmanship Models" Gallery 🔥 Discover the complete bronze casting process through clay molds unearthed at Houma! The "Six Harmonies" alloy formula recorded in Kaogong Ji remains remarkable today. 4️⃣ Special Exhibition "Ba Comes from Southwest" (Until Mar 16, 2025) 🐯 The tiger-patterned bronze weapons of Ba people exude power, while their willow leaf-shaped short swords prove their valor, revealing thousand-year connections between Tujia and Ba cultures. - ✨Hidden Features & Tips ✔️ AR Interactive: Scan codes to unlock 3D bronze ware restoration and see their ancient golden glory. ✔️ Stamp Collection: Collect special cultural relic stamps, recommended "Jin Gong Pan" and "Beast Face Ding." ✔️ Family Activities: Children can enjoy "Digital Bronze" puzzle games, making learning fun. ⚠️ Note: Photography of the Yi Zun and Mao You treasures is prohibited - experience them with your heart! - 📍Practical Information 🎫 Admission: Free (ID reservation required) ⏰ Hours: 9:00-17:00 (Closed on Mondays) 🚇 Transportation: Take subway Line 2 to Changfeng Street Station, 10-minute walk 🍜 Nearby: Recommended Shanxi Museum (15-minute walk) to experience the essence of Jin culture - 📌P.S.
