Travel back three thousand years! The hometown of King Zhou hides the most mysterious origin of China!
Who would have thought! The tyrant King Zhou's hometown in the textbooks
is actually the earliest "cosmic center" of Chinese civilization!
Shangqiu—this small city in Henan
holds a code of Chinese culture even more explosive than the Investiture of the Gods!
Huoshentai: The Divine Miracle of the Xuanniao's Birth
The legendary site where "the Mandate of Heaven's Xuanniao descended and gave birth to Shang"!
Touching the warm soil layer of the 4,000-year-old sacrificial pit,
it feels like hearing the first cry of the Shang tribe🕊
✨Tips: Climb the platform at sunset
to see the glow of the sunset gild the Xuanniao sculpture with a divine golden edge
Yingtian Academy:
Fan Zhongyan once lectured here! Wearing Hanfu and writing calligraphy in front of this millennium-old academy feels so ceremonial~
Observatory Platform:
Standing on the observatory platform and touching the patterns on the bronze ware,
suddenly you understand—
we are not mere spectators of the 5,000-year civilization,
but the eternal fire burning under the wings of the Xuanniao🔥
