Chengdu Museum, Blue Bronze Exhibition, a must-visit～

🗣 Visiting Chengdu Museum during summer vacation, too crowded, not a good experience? 👉 Locals in Chengdu share how to enjoy the exhibition～ . 🕰 Best time is definitely at the 9:00 opening and during the evening sessions 💟 I prefer to visit the night session after dinner, and after 8:00 to take photos with fewer people, great results～ . ‼️ Be sure to make a reservation in advance, don’t go last minute (Otherwise, there is a risk that same-day reservations are full and you cannot enter) ‼️‼️‼️ Be sure to bring your ID card, entry is by ID card scanning (Otherwise, you need to queue at the entrance to get tickets, wasting time) . 👀 Summer exhibition info at Chengdu Museum: -1⃣ Floor: Basement animal specimen exhibition (Suitable for families with children, explanations can be found by searching Huafeng Lecture Hall) 1⃣ Floor: Greek 🇬🇷 special exhibition, ticket required 2⃣/3⃣/4⃣ Floors: Chengdu history + folk customs (Free public guided tours can be booked at the front desk, multiple sessions all day) 5⃣ Floor: Shadow puppetry exhibition (Suitable for families with children) 6⃣ Floor: Coffee shop . 🍵 For meals, you need to leave the museum; there are many dining options at Tianfu Square Metro Station～ . 🕹 Stamp collectors, look here: From the 1st to the 6th floor, Chengdu Museum has free stamps on each floor, all located at the cultural and creative sales areas, stamp to your heart’s content, don’t miss it～ . 👉 The Blue Bronze is not only uniquely beautiful, everyone must learn in advance about the relationship between Chu culture and Central Plains culture～ . 🉐 Teacher Zhong Sheng from Huafeng Lecture Hall says: The states of Zeng and E, two ancient vassal states deeply buried under the land of Jingchu and once hidden in the river of history, reveal through their magnificent and heavy bronze relics the unique and glorious veil of the southern vassal states during the Zhou dynasty. . E State, an important southern state in the early Western Zhou period with close ties to the Central Plains dynasty and significant political and military power. The ritual vessels and weapons inscribed with "E Hou" are historical witnesses of E State as the southern barrier of the Zhou dynasty, with their shapes and decorations deeply imprinted with the fusion of era and region. . Zeng State, from the early Western Zhou Yejia Mountain cemetery to the early Warring States Zeng Hou Yi tomb, shocked the world with its complete sequence, diverse categories, exquisite craftsmanship, and rich inscriptions of bronze ware. From solemn tripod cauldrons to bizarre coiled dragon-covered jars, to precious inscriptions recording the "Zeng Hou" lineage and major events, Zeng bronzes not only represent the peak of bronze casting technology at the time but also vividly present Zeng’s political status, economic strength, ritual and music system, cultural beliefs, and artistic aesthetics as a "great state of Han East." . They vividly tell the epic of a Ji-surname vassal state surviving, developing, prospering, and ultimately integrating into the vast flow of Chinese culture at the cultural crossroads of north and south under the Zhou feudal system. . 👁 Visiting the bronze exhibition is a comprehensive experience of appreciating shapes, reading decorations, and understanding culture～ 😜 If you’ve read my introduction, I believe your visit to the Chengdu Museum special exhibition will be worthwhile and not in vain～
