Henan Zhengzhou | Henan Museum, which inherits 'sweet dew' from above and embraces 'earth's energy' from below

❤Recommended Reason: Henan Museum's main exhibition hall's exterior architecture is modeled after the ancient observatory in Dengfeng from the Yuan Dynasty, artistically interpreted as a 'crowned pyramid.' Its base is square, and the crown is a square cauldron shape, rising upward and covering downward, symbolizing the reception of 'sweet dew' from above and the 'earth's energy' from below, implying that the Central Plains is the source of Chinese civilization, integrating all directions. 👍Most Recommended: Henan is located in the Central Plains, where many emperors from various dynasties chose to be buried, as the saying goes, 'Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Northern Mang.' Henan's underground cultural relics rank among the top in the country, evidenced by the Luoyang shovel. With a wealth of cultural relics, Henan Museum naturally has an extensive collection, with over 170,000 pieces (sets) of artifacts, featuring a large number of high-quality, diverse, and valuable treasures. Several artifacts that became famous on the show 'National Treasures' are among the collection. 👍Most Recommended: Henan Museum currently has open basic displays 'Magnificent China, Choosing the Central Plains for Capital' and thematic displays 'Henan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties,' 'Jin of Dan and Xi – Bronze Art of the Chu State in the Central Plains,' 'Ancient Stone Carving Art of the Central Plains,' 'Craftsmanship and Treasures – Ming and Qing Treasures from the Museum Collection,' and 'National Treasures Special Exhibition.' There are also 'Social Education Experience Hall' and 'Ancient Chinese Music Hall' that complement the exhibitions.
