Hubei Provincial Museum | Go see the world's number one sword

| Go see the world's number one sword. The must-see in the Hubei Provincial Museum is the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue. This sword is not only the personal sword of King Goujian but also represents the highest level of short weapon manufacturing at that time. The sword's hilt curls outward into a circular ring, with 11 concentric circles cast inside, each spaced only 0.2 millimeters apart. The blade is covered with regular black diamond-shaped patterns, with blue glass inlaid on the front of the guard and turquoise on the back, earning it the title of 'the world's number one sword.' It is still visibly sharp in the museum today. Of course, if you use it to scold someone, it would be quite sharp too. If your boss fines you or your partner makes you angry, you can send them this picture, haha, just kidding. The museum's treasure also includes a complete set of Zenghouyi chime bells, each bell producing two tones, capable of playing many different melodies, which can be said to have changed the history of world music. If Boss Xu's dance troupe used these, a little hammer tap would get everyone dancing. Next, there are brightly colored floral-patterned cups and plates, a lustrous sixteen-section dragon and phoenix jade belt, and the unparalleled Zenghouyi zunpan. Being a king must have been enjoyable, and being a marquis must have been fun. Who understands the life of having grape wine in luminous cups, and a pile of money and beauties! There are also crystal-clear enamel inlaid gemstone bracelets, golden gemstone-inlaid white jade, and dazzling golden phoenix hairpins... Even the men would drool over these, let alone the ladies and young girls. No jewelry store outside can compare. Speaking of which, I advise the gentlemen not to bring their partners here, because even if they like something, it's not for sale. However, ladies can bring their mothers-in-law or future mothers-in-law to admire. If you can't help but exclaim in awe, hey, they might take you to a jewelry store to buy something to soothe your mood. The only downside is the crowd, the lines... Finally, let me ask everyone: Will you bring your partner? Tickets: Free (reservation required in advance) Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 09:00-17:00 (Entry stops after 16:00). Closed on New Year's Eve and Mondays (except national holidays) Location: No. 160, East Lake Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province
