Amber Exhibition: The Light of the Jade Bowl

Amber is a famous natural organic gemstone and a treasure loved by many. As early as the Neolithic Age, humans used amber as an ornament. In the Compendium of Materia Medica, amber is regarded as the soul of a tiger. "The Lanling wine is as fragrant as tulips, and the jade bowl is filled with amber light." Li Bai used amber to compare his favorite wine. In Greek mythology, amber is the tears of the goddess Helitis.

In the eyes of scientists, amber is an important and precious fossil, containing evidence and secrets of the evolution of life on Earth and the changes in the climate and environment of forests hundreds of millions of years ago. The sci-fi movie Jurassic Park focuses on a small piece of amber with insects, imagining that the insects may have bitten and sucked dinosaur blood, and the amber may have preserved dinosaur DNA, leading to a series of thrilling legendary stories.
