This wave must be visited to check out the top ten treasures of the museum. Don't forget to grab the 90th anniversary limited edition treasure refrigerator magnet, which is very commemorative~☝ ☛Tips for booking an appointment The museum is closed on Mondays and open from Tuesday to Sunday, with reservations available in two time periods: 9:00 - 12:30 and 12:30 - 16:30. You can make an official appointment at the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Museum up to 7 days in advance, which is super convenient! ☑Ten treasures of the museum, shocking arrival ① Wedge-shaped double-shoulder stone shovel: The "beauty" of the Neolithic Age, it is polished to be so smooth, with symmetrical edges on the shoulders and a round and soft blade. The essence of Guangxi's Neolithic culture is all here, and we can also get a glimpse of the complexity of the society at that time. ② Bronze jar with handle and animal face pattern: A mysterious treasure from the Shang Dynasty, it looks like a pot with a handle and there is an inscription inside the lid. It is extremely precious material for studying the exchanges between the Central Plains and Ou Luo regions in the Shang Dynasty. ③ Fusang tree-shaped copper lamp: "High-tech" of the Western Han Dynasty, with super advanced design. The oil smoke produced can pass through the lampshade and run into the abdominal cavity filled with clean water. The ancients were so wise. ④ Bronze bell with human face pattern and sheep horn button: A percussion instrument of the Western Han Dynasty, a "regular guest" in sacrificial activities. The aesthetic taste and craftsmanship of the ancient Yue people are perfectly reflected in this bell. ⑤ Bronze drum with flying egret pattern: The drum surface has a diameter of 56.4 cm, a height of 36.8 cm, and a weight of 30.75 kg. There are patterns of flying egrets, rowing boats, and feathered people dancing on the drum. It is a key object for studying the ancient southern ethnic culture. ⑥ Feather-patterned bronze phoenix lamp: This is a uniquely shaped "little clever" lamp from the Western Han Dynasty. The lamp is placed in a round hole on the back of the phoenix, and the smoke and dust slide down its neck into the water in the abdominal cavity. It is both environmentally friendly and beautiful. ⑦ Lacquer-painted copper tube with handle: a typical artifact of Nanyue in the Western Han Dynasty. The body of the vessel is exquisitely painted with figures, animals, flowers and trees. It is a true treasure of lacquer painting art. ⑧Large Bronze Horse: A “steed” from the Western Han Dynasty, it is 117 cm tall, with powerful limbs and lifelike expression. It is truly worthy of the title of “the best horse in Lingnan”. ⑨Light blue string-patterned glass cup: a "transparent elf" from the Han Dynasty, 5.5 cm high and 7.3 cm in diameter, translucent light blue, a witness to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries along the Maritime Silk Road. ⑩ White-glazed Seated Guanyin Statue from Dehua Kiln: An “artistic masterpiece” from the Ming Dynasty, it has a thick and hollow body, a full face, and natural and lively folds in her clothes, giving it a fairy-like look. ☀My dears, there are so many stories behind these treasures, and you may only understand half of them if you read them yourself.
