Huaibei Museum.

1. The Han Dynasty stone reliefs in Huaibei Museum are exquisite. My personal favorite is the second picture, which depicts a flying feathered man guiding a white tiger. The feathered man is elegant and lifelike, like an angel descending from heaven, showcasing the romanticism of the ancients. 2. Jade burial suit with copper thread. This artifact was unearthed from the Shuanglongzi Han Tomb. In the Han Dynasty, jade was highly valued, and it was believed that wrapping the body in jade after death could preserve the bones. The emperor used jade burial suits with gold thread, nobles, princes, and princesses used jade burial suits with silver thread, and high-ranking nobles and grand princesses used jade burial suits with copper thread. The so-called "gold thread" and "copper thread" refer to the material of the thread used to string the jade pieces together. 3. Boshan incense burner, also unearthed from the Shuanglongzi Han Tomb. Boshan incense burners can be seen in most museums in China, but the one in Huaibei is particularly captivating. Boshan is a mythical mountain in ancient legends. The lid of the Boshan incense burner is hollowed out and undulating, resembling a misty mountain range, hence the name. 4. Porcelain. The top recommendation is the Cizhou kiln white-glazed black flower jar. The black and white contrast is harmonious. Although Cizhou kiln porcelain is not as stunning as Yue kiln porcelain, it always gives a sense of simplicity with a touch of nobility. The Gongxian kiln tri-colored lion hugging a pillar is the cutest lion I've ever seen. The Jingdezhen kiln shadow green-glazed child hugging a ball is small and exquisite, reflecting the stable and prosperous society of the Song Dynasty, where children could play freely. The Cizhou kiln pillow with a poem inscribed on it features the famous lines of the banished immortal, "Willow leaves are golden, pear blossoms are white as snow," showcasing the elegance of ancient times. (There are too many exquisite porcelains unearthed from the Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal site, so I won't describe them in detail.) 5. Sui and Tang Dynasties Grand Canal style relief. The relief tells the story of the bustling scene of ancient Xiangcheng, where merchants gathered from north and south, which is very spectacular. In addition, the relief depicting Emperor Yang of Sui touring the south on a dragon boat is even more worth seeing. Although this eternal sage king's contribution to the canal is significant, it is still important to see the countless boatmen pulling the emperor's boat, highlighting the stark contrast between the two.
