Minhang "Chu Style Fierce" Exhibition｜4 Must-See Artifacts!

At the Minhang Museum's "Chu Style Fierce" exhibition, these artifacts showcase the "hardcore strength" of the Chu Kingdom. Missing them would be a real pity—

▪️ "Fuping Jun" Tiger-Shaped Bronze Base: The tiger's posture is agile, with clear inscriptions carved on the back of its neck and tail. The square hole on its back was specially designed to hold a set of chime bells. Imagine the scene when the chime bells were hung and played on top, with the tiger base supporting the music.

▪️ E Jun Qi Car Token: Made of bronze but shining with a golden glow, the inlaid gold inscriptions detail transportation routes and tax exemption privileges. The rounded characters are super cute.

▪️ Turquoise-Inlaid King of Yue Sword: The 54.5 cm sword still gleams with a cold light. The turquoise inlay on the sword guard forms mysterious bird script that hasn’t faded in over two thousand years. This sword was discovered in a noble tomb of the Cai state. Experts say it witnessed interactions between two states and is considered an ancient "diplomatic token" 🗡️

▪️ Sheep-Shaped Bronze Zun: This 11 cm "mini food container" is adorably irresistible! Unearthed in 1977 from Shou County, it looks like a little lamb. The cloud and thunder patterns on the lid and the curled tail are exquisitely detailed. Everyone who sees it wants to touch it～🐑

The exhibition hall isn’t large but is full of details. Taking an hour to stroll through is just right. There is a volunteer-led tour every day at 2 PM, where you can hear many stories behind the artifacts～
