Finally seeing you, I'm glad I didn't give up

Last year, on a whim, I suddenly visited Changsha, wanting to pay homage to Xin Zhui. But I underestimated her charm, and couldn't get a ticket on a whim. So last year, I left with disappointment. But she seemed to have some kind of magic that made me think about her all year round. This year, I came in the snow, without regrets, and finally arrived at the Hunan Provincial Museum. I still chose to live next to the museum, and it only takes two minutes to walk to the museum. I left the house unhurriedly, but to my surprise, the queue had already lined up a kilometer away before the doors even opened. As a history worker, I am truly happy that the museum is loved by the people. But as a visitor, I selfishly hope that there are fewer people, even fewer, so that I can quietly reminisce and reflect. After entering the museum, I went straight to the Mawangdui exhibition hall on the third floor, and rushed forward without stopping, after seeing the famous silk books and plain clothes, I finally arrived at the tomb. The museum has turned the entire tomb into a large projection light show, which is extremely shocking. After taking several elevators down, I finally arrived at the body of Lady Xin Zhui. After a thousand years of vicissitudes, she lay there quietly. After the archaeologists excavated, they dissected the body and found that she had many diseases. How much value she has provided for archaeology! Through the excavation of the Mawangdui tomb in the Western Han Dynasty, we can explore the people's clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, aesthetic beliefs, clothing preferences, medical technology in the early Western Han Dynasty, she has given us too much... The subsequent Aegean civilization special exhibition, Yangshao culture special exhibition and the Hunan characteristic Hunan people special exhibition, I watched them all with satisfaction. After checking in at the coffee shop, I reluctantly left. The check-in of museums in various provinces in China is still ongoing, and my steps have never stopped.
