My Life FIRST | Summer Visit to Nanjing Museum

| Summer Visit to Nanjing Museum. Nanjing has many museums, among which the highest level and national level is the Nanjing Museum, while the municipal level museum is called Nanjing Municipal Museum, commonly known as Chaotian Palace! ► Exhibits: From Ancient Times to the Republic of China ▪ Treasures of the Museum: Celadon underglaze colorful bird and auspicious beast spout pot, epitaph of the Wang and Xie family, blue and white porcelain vase depicting Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon, gold-inlaid cloud dragon pattern jade belt, fisherman playing with lotus amber cup, seven-treasure gilded Ashoka tower, etc. However, not all of them will be on display, it depends on luck! ▪ Permanent exhibitions include "Dragon and Tiger: History of Nanjing City", "Jade Hall: Exhibition of Museum Collections", "Cloud Garments and Hairpins: Song and Ming Dynasty Costume Exhibition", among which the "Song and Ming Dynasty Costume Exhibition" focuses on showcasing exquisite costumes from the Song and Ming periods, mostly unearthed in the Nanjing area, with beautifully patterned silk garments! ▪ The special exhibition for the Year of the Dragon is very interesting, featuring dragon-related architecture, utensils, silk, jewelry, etc. unearthed from various sites in Nanjing, as well as place names in Nanjing named after dragons. The concluding sentence is very impactful: Culture has never ceased to flow, and the only one that has been continuously inherited is China. Black hair, yellow skin, inherited down, we are called the descendants of the dragon! ► Architecture: 2500 Years of History ▪ Chaotian Palace Ancient Building Complex is the highest grade, largest area, and best-preserved ancient building complex in the Jiangnan region, with typical Ming and Qing dynasty palace-style structures. ▪ Climb to the highest point of Chaotian Palace, Jingyi Pavilion. According to the "History of Ming", in the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), the imperial edict "Jingyi Maxim" was issued to the Confucian Temple, and the pavilion built was called "Jingyi Pavilion", becoming a landmark building of the Confucian Temple. ► Recommended Tour: 2 Hours ► Free admission on the 10th of each month, closed on Mondays, 25 yuan on weekdays
